2018 Arsonist Chardonnay

Winemaker Notes

Matchbook’s 2018 The Arsonist Chardonnay is a luscious blend of the best barrel lots of estate-grown fruit. A beautiful golden straw color opens to aromas of toasty oak, crème brûlèe, brown sugar, and mango. Dense flavors of pineapple, caramel apples, and baking spices are layered over creamy buttery notes and a touch of vanilla. This is a full-bodied Chardonnay loaded with opulent flavors that are well integrated and balanced.

The Arsonist Chardonnay has enough depth of flavor to hold up to lobster, pasta with a cream sauce and, for the adventurous, a well-marbled steak.

COMMENTARY: The 2018 Matchbook The Arsonist Chardonnay is packed, elevated, and delicious. TASTING NOTES: This wine brings ripe fruit, oak, and butterscotch to the fore. Pair it with a crispy-batter, minute steak. (Tasted: June 4, 2020, San Francisco, CA)
