Alcohol: 13,9 Grape(s): Chardonnay Localization: Yolo County, California, USA Tasting notes: The Matchbook Chardonnay is notable for the rich fruit flavors. That's it for Matchbook Wine Company Month. If $20 is in your budget for a Chardonnay, you see this badass sitting there just waiting to be purchased, and you still don't end up buying it then I will be severely disappointed in you. The 2020 vintage of Matchbook Chardonnay is notable for the rich fruit flavors that developed over the long growing season. There's no shame in silver, especially when you still get a perfect score. There is a nice weight to the wine that leads to a long, lingering finish. Aromas of apricot, butterscotch and honey are followed by stone fruit fruit flavors layered over luscious crme brle, vanilla, toasted oak and butter. But how many $20 Chardonnay's have I had? It's gotta be a pretty impressive tally. Product description The Matchbook Chardonnay signature style is a delicious balance of fruit and toasty oak. In fact, there's only one Chardonnay in that price point that I carry at work that I would suggest above it: Scott Family Chardonnay. In my opinion the Arsonist places in the top five Chardonnay's in the $20 price range. Located just 30 minutes north of Sacramento and Davis, Matchbook is a local Yolo County destination for wine lovers looking to discover quality estate-grown varietals. I feel like the 2012 had more wood flavor from the oak than the 2013, but that doesn't even bother me because it's still amazing. M atchbook Wine Company is a family-owned winery tucked away in Northern California's gently rolling Dunnigan Hills. Rich and smooth mouthfeel, medium body, excellent balance with all these things playing nicely with its acidity. On the palate I get pineapple, canned pears, butterscotch and banana. It just beckons you to enter into Chardonnay heaven like mermaids luring in sailors with their songs.

On the nose there's aromas of butterscotch, buttered popcorn, corn muffin and pineapple. Nomnom! But anyways, it's got that same color of yellow. The first time tasting white grape juice was a revelation. Have you had that stuff? I don't think I did before we had our daughter. But I'm talking about the non-alcoholic white grape juice by Welch's or something. I know that's redundant because that's what it is, smartass. It looks like white grape juice in color.
