2011 KIRKLAND SIGNATURE SONOMA CHARDONNAY
I'm always looking for an affordable chardonnay that I can enjoy on a weekly/daily basis. And certainly husband is always urging me to find something gentler on the wallet. He is the butt of all my best buddies jokes... "another cheap chardonnay, really???" But truly this one is really, really good. This is a wonderful choice to serve for a large party, when you don't want to break the bank on wine.
I do not typically like a fruity chardonnay. I prefer a much more buttery one. The reason I like this one...must be in the finish. My nose normally does not detect the pear, grapefruit lemon as stated in the Costco Wine Blog, but me and my sassy friends are always colliding with that buttery finish. Yum Yum and Cheap Cheap. Happy husband and extremely happy me :) Run out and buy a case~ I know I am.
Review from... Costco Wine Blog
This is more of a fruity Chardonnay, which I typically prefer, but it seemed a little caught in the middle of what it wanted to be. The nose kicks off tropical fruit and glides you in with some pear, grapefruit and lemon, but towards the finish the fruit collides with a bit of vanilla, butter and oak and it didn't pull through for me.
With the right meal, I can drink this no problem. On its own, its flaws become more noticeable. I'd pay a dollar or two more for a different bottle.
