Union Wine Company Chardonnay Kings Ridge

All citrus snap and cool precision. Lime peel, green apple skin, and crushed oyster shell ride a taut, linear palate, lifted by brisk acidity and a saline, mineral edge. There’s just enough soft orchard fruit and subtle leesy texture to round the corners. Average in quality but above average in value if at $20.

Fresh and vibrant, neutral in almost every way. Average in quality and value.

Has the plastic thing to the nose. And then crisper and tighter on the palate. 20% neutral french oak, which you get. But over all just clean and tight.
