William Hill Napa Valley 2014 Chardonnay, $18.69-$25.99, 88 points, appeared as a yellow/gold color.
Aromas of wintergreen, quince, and a spring rushing stream were subtle, but quite lovely.
Medium-bodied with fair acidity was the conduit for the straight-forward pome flavors with a whisper vanilla and a touch of that wintergreen; oak was nicely nuanced.
Finished a bit thin, but a hint of ginger and lemon zest with the trailing palate and a potent 13.9% alcohol were okay.
Paired fine with my baked North Atlantic halibut in a rich cheddar cheese sauce.
