Norm's Tasting Notes

2014 Columbia Crest Grand Estates Chardonnay
#nb-45-16

After sampling a few value priced Cabs, I felt it was time to review some affordable Chardonnay for the approaching holidays. The first sample is an old reliable from Washington State, the 2014 vintage of Columbia Crest's Grand Estates Chardonnay. Year after year, it just never seems to let you down.

The nose is fragrant with the essence of apple mingled with tropical fruit.  The flavor is apple, with touches of melon and a little vanilla, which flow into a crisp and lingering finish   The alcohol content is 13.5 %, and Norm's score is 89.

This wine is well suited for chicken or fish and a variety of other foods as well.  The clean taste also makes it a likely candidate for a "Back Porch Sipper".  The combination of value and quality make it a true "winner".


price : $9- $12
score:  88
