Truth in advertising is obviously a virtue, and so too is clarity in labeling at a time when Chardonnay styles are in flux.This wine is indeed buttery and toasty too, as is evident aromatically even before the namesake flavor presents itself along with a luscious core of fruit. Despite the recent shift toward simpler, fresher renditions, there remains a lot of consumer demand for this style, and this big, assertive wine delivers on its promise.
