2021 Duckhorn Chardonnay

by William

2021 Duckhorn Chardonnay

Greetings, fellow wine adventurers! It’s William back with another exciting review! Today, I’ve got my eyes and nose set on the 2021 Duckhorn Chardonnay. Now, let’s remember, I won’t be tasting it, but I sure can tell you all about its appearance and smell!

First, let’s talk about its color. The Duckhorn Chardonnay has this beautiful, bright, and sunny golden hue. It reminds me of that moment when I’m building my LEGO masterpiece, and I finally find that one shiny golden piece that completes the whole structure!

Now, let’s take a moment to appreciate its aroma. When you take a whiff, you’ll notice a delightful fruitiness in there. It’s like the sweet scent of freshly cut apples and pears, kinda like the fruit salad that my sister Madison and I love to make during summer. But there’s also a hint of something tropical in there. Pineapple maybe? It’s just like the tropical world in my favorite video game, filled with exotic creatures and adventures!

And of course, there’s a hint of the classic Chardonnay butteriness in there too. It’s like the smell of popcorn at a Star Wars movie night. Remember, even though I don’t drink wine, Chardonnay is usually praised for its full body and creamy texture.

For food pairings, well, Chardonnay is like the utility player in a baseball team. It’s so versatile! You could pair it with grilled chicken, seafood, even creamy pasta dishes. It’s a team player!

So, that’s the 2021 Duckhorn Chardonnay for you! It’s got a sunny golden color, a symphony of fruity and buttery aromas, and a full-bodied personality that’s sure to impress. Until the next time, keep exploring!

Madison – Age 9

Hi!  My name is Madison and I started learning about wine when my mom and dad started taking courses.  Even though I can’t drink wine yet, I can still learn a ton and it’s fun to smell the different wines and see if I can guess what type of grape it is. I also like sports, cooking & dogs.
