Toasted almond, vanilla, pear and citrus all come together on the nose of the Sidewood 2015 Chardonnay. It's a medium-bodied wine, partially barrel-fermented, with crisp acids and just enough fat to give it heft in the mouth but not enough to clog your arteries. The finish is more about the citrusy fruit than the oak, giving a refreshing lift. Drink it over the next 12-18 months.
