W3 Wines have the distinction of being one of our best-selling wineries of all time. Why? It’s simple… William White’s wines are always something to marvel over. Today’s 2013 W3 Reserve Chardonnay is the first time that we’ve featured a white wine from William White - and it is also one of the best.
Aromas are driven to the farthest corners of the nose, with ripe citrus, pineapple, white peach, toasty oak, vanilla, sweet butter, Lychee, ripe apple, subtle dried apricot, subtle orange blossom, and a slight hint of white spice.
Dense, medium-bodied and delicious on the palate with Meyer lemon, pineapple, lime flower, Granny Smith apple, dried apricot, subtle honeydew melon, wet river rock and white spice.
