Beringer Founder's Estate 2007 Chardonnay California

Submitted by Bob Bacchus on Mon, 2010-06-28 12:00

For the price, relatively drinkable, and better than the White Zin to be sure.

It's a pale yellow wine with some nice tree fruit (think mostly apple with some pear notes) for both your nose and palate. There's some oakiness, with an OK balance if short to medium finish and moderate dryness. A so-so sipping wine, it's probably better for dinner.

A better choice might be: 
Alexander Valley 2007 Chardonnay California
Master Plan NV Chardonnay California
Hob Nob 2006 Chardonnay France
