Bear Hug Winemaker Select Chardonnay

A review of Bear Hug Winemaker Select Chardonnay for Weekend Wine Reviews #292.

Bear Hug Winemaker Select Chardonnay, California, Wine Insiders, $26.00.  They say:  A Winemaker Select bottling of Chardonnay sourced from the cool-climate region of Monterey and a small lot from the warm inland valley.  This blend of styles produces a stylish and delicious Chardonnay, which has the classic flavors, but with a California twist.  It tastes like:  apple, ripe melon, nectarine, vanilla and toasty oak.  It is best served cold, around 45-50 degrees fahrenheit.  It pairs well with roast chicken, grilled veal and cream-based pastas.  We say:  a lot going on.  Honeysuckle and peach, citrus.  Lime on the finish, green apple.  Excellent.  We loved this wine!!  Probably one of my favorite California Chardonnays!
