FRANKLIN TATE CHARDONNAY 2022

I'm not usually a Chardonnay person but the creamy texture on this one won me over, especially with the nectarine and melon notes coming through. That little hazelnut finish at the end is what really sets it apart.

Opened it with dinner last night and the honeydew melon note really shines through—so fresh on the nose, then that nutty hazelnut finish lingers nicely. There's a creaminess that makes it feel fancier than the price.

The creamy texture paired with nectarine and a hint of hazelnut makes this a fantastic Chardonnay. I opened it with grilled salmon and it was a perfect match.
