2018 Landmark Overlook Chardonnay
#27-2020
In the last few months I have sampled some really good Chardonnays, many in the Classic California style. The 2018 Landmark Chardonnay is a bit of a departure, in that it is a more easy to drink modern style, highlighting big fruit, and a tasty sweetness, which does not deny that it is still a dry dinner wine.
The nose is fat, juicy, and pungent with the aroma of sweet juicy apple and pear backed by a spicy veil of tropical fruit. The flavor spectrum is dense, with layers of Golden Delicious Apple and Sweet Bartlett Pear, with traces of stone-fruit and a dash of pineapple. The finish is compelling with a bit of spice, and begs for another sip! The alcohol content is 14.3%, and Norm's score is 90.
A bottle of Landmark Overlook Chardonnay, paired with Bay Scallops and Angel Hair Pasta in Garlic Alfredo Sauce, was the right combination for a wonderful dinner! Throw in a fresh avocado and tomato salad, and you are indeed "Living the Good Life"!
score: 90
price: $21 - $26
