Winery Review:
Lush and juicy, this Chardonnay exhibits lifted, bright tropical fruit aromas that opens up to a creamy, refreshing mouth feel. The finish is balanced, with well-integrated seasoned oak. Cellar No. 8 Chardonnay is perfect with a variety of foods including Shrimp Linguine.

My Review:
Another oak monster, this white exhibits bright pear and citrus notes on the nose and a light golden color. This oaky-butter monster hits hard on the mid-palate, with a slight cat urine flavor on the end-palate. While I do enjoy the oaky/vanilla notes on the mid-palate, I did find the urine/citrus aftertaste to be off-putting. This white is very balanced (minus the end-palate), with bright citrus and green apple notes as a counter point to the warm oaky flavors. For those who want the bright, harsh citrus flavors of a Sauvignon Blanc in a Chardonnay, this is the pick for you. Personally, I will stick to my Oak Monster Chardonnays.
