CUPCAKE CENTRAL COAST CHARDONNAY - 2007

13.5% alcohol.

TASTING NOTES:

Pale yellow water color with aromas and flavors of apple, light oak, butter and citrus. Very clean, dry and crisp with good minerality. Finishes with honey and just the right amount of acidity.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

88 PTS
Under $10? Almost too good to be true. A really solid and impressive effort for the money. I've had Chardonnay that is triple the price that doesn't deliver the basics that this wine does. For all of those out there buying cheap Chardonnay that doesn't really taste good and has out of balance alcohol and nothing but oak, you really need to try this. An enthusiastic recommendation!

  • I used to be a devoted Kendell-Jackson Chardonnay girl, now Cupcake and Toasted Head have put out Chardonnays as good or better than KJ. I still love KJ but the competition is excellent. K-J Lover in West-by-God
