Beringer Private Reserve Chardonnay - 2014 (750ml) Valcourt incipient complexityThis delicious Chardonnay is rich, ripe and buttery. Aged nine months in 80% new French oak, the wine is subtle, offering notes of lemon meringue pie, tropical pineapple, citrus oil and apple blossom. It is medium to full bodied, refreshing and delicately oaked, which may be a first. Robert Parker
