Keenan Spring Mountain District, Napa Valley, 2015 Chardonnay, $30.59-$35.99, 88 points, was a straw yellow color.
Lovely sweet apple smells were tempered with a bit of oak.
Medium-bodied, maybe slightly heavier, with fair to good acidity carried flavors reflective of the nose plus an almost spritz-like ginger which managed to overcome an otherwise too oaky Chardonnay for my taste.
Finished nicely on that ginger, hints of tropical fruit, and a potent 14.2% alcohol.
Paired okay with our roast chicken dinner, but as before, our apple crisp was a perfect dessert pairing.
