The 2016 Dante Chardonnay is a lovely golden color in the glass, with explosive aromas of juicy Asian pear, honey suckle, and mandarin oranges, with a hint of crème brûlée. The mouth is round and creamy, with layers of enticing flavors: lemon curd, Tahitian vanilla, and sweet orange. The wine is framed by a well balanced acidity, and the lengthy finish is smooth with light caramel. Enjoy this delicious Chardonnay with pan seared salmon, served over a spinach salad with mandarin oranges, pickled red onions, and fresh chèvre.
