ザ・クラッシャー アンオークド シャルドネ 2022年、カリフォルニア

The aroma of pineapple hits you right away, and the soft, creamy mouthfeel is incredibly satisfying. I was surprised by the plush bread dough flavor that follows—it’s a smooth, easy drink.

The mouth-coating feel is so luxurious for a wine with no oak, and that bread dough flavor note really surprised me in the best way. Perfect for sipping on its own.

I was skeptical about an unoaked Chardonnay being this creamy, but the pineapple and butter notes are perfectly balanced. That bread dough flavor on the finish makes it dangerously easy to drink.
