Merry Edwards Chardonnay Olivet Lane 2020

This crowd-pleaser packed with fresh tropical fruit, tangy citrus, and oak spices is irresistibly delicious and had us begging for another sip. We loved the aromas of lemon zest, pear, nutmeg, and vanilla and the flavors of spiced apples and toasted brioche that unfold on the palate. A long, mouthwatering finish balances its creamy and silky texture. – February 2023
