Natalie's Score: 91/100

Chateau Ste. Michelle Indian Wells 2018 Chardonnay is always a crowd pleaser with its full-bodied and lushly layered ripe apple, stone fruit, tropical fruit, toffee, toasty oak spice and smoky mineral flavours harmonious and balanced with brilliant acidity. The wine was aged in new French oak and some American oak barrels. Lush, light and creamy due to the lees ageing. Pour with roast chicken and gamebirds.

Chardonnay food pairings: grilled chicken, pork Wellington, roast quail stuffed with wild mushrooms.
