Bandwagon Monterey Chardonnay 2009 11.99/750 ml.
This is a new wine and label from Tony Leonardini, the volunteer fireman from St. Helena and winemaker who has also produced the labels "Volunteer" and "Two- Faced". If the name Leonardini sounds familiar, think Whitehall Lane. Jeff Warzynski says "put this Chardonnay at the top of your list, and be amazed at the low price for the high quality". This Chardonnay was sourced from the Santa Lucia Highlands in Monterey County. The wine was made without any oak fermentation and no malolactic fermentation either. Wine Garage of Calistoga describes it this way, "This is a crisp, clean representation of pure cold climate Chardonnay grapes. The nose reminds me of jasmine flowers right after a rainstorm. On the palate I get honeysuckle, papaya, and Meyer lemons. The wine is rich you may detect some butter, but believe me, those flavors are just from the pure Chardonnay fruit characteristics." Winery price is $17.
