DABLON CHARDONNAY 2013, Michigan

That creamy finish with the tropical notes really surprised me — I wasn't expecting such a well-rounded Chardonnay from Michigan. The toast level is perfect, not overpowering, and it paired beautifully with a simple pasta dish.

That lemon and butter combo really comes through on the first sip, and the creamy finish lingers just long enough. It’s got that classic French feel without the hefty price tag.

Creamy and well-balanced, this Chardonnay has a lovely subtle tropical note that lingers without being too heavy. Perfectly paired with a light pasta dish, the toastiness came through just enough to complement the food.
