Mission Briefing
She roars
Today marks the long-awaited return of Deerfield Ranch Winery, one of our most popular and most long-running wineries. Today we have their super delicious 2013 Blonde Ambition Chardonnay, a wine that our entire tasting panel adores.
We think you’ll love it, too.
This wine is very fragrant and full on the nose, with citrus, sassafras, lemongrass, pineapple, guava, passionfruit, vanilla and a hint of flint.
Silky smooth on the palate, with flavors of bold mixed citrus, toasted caramel, pineapple, star fruit, lemongrass, lime leaf and subtle white pepper.
If you love silky, delicious, flavorful chardonnay, you will not be disappointed. We promise. Don’t love it? Let us know… and we’ll quietly wonder if we’ve gone mad.
Yes, this wine is that good.
