World Wide Wonder
Celebrate with us, Operative! W3 returns to The Wine Spies with today’s exquisite W3 2013 Reserve Chardonnay. This wine gives Rombauer a real run for its money, delivering a silky, delicious drinking experience that we think you’ll fall in love with.
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.
Grab some of this delectable - and highly recommended - wine before we run out. Quantity is limited…
