Is One Sixteen Chardonnay a good wine?
Tasting profile
A crisp, elegant California Chardonnay with a notable oak influence and a vivid burst of fruit, drawing comparisons to well-made white Burgundy and higher-end Kistler bottlings. Reviewers describe it as refined and almost jewel-like, though the finish stops short of the longest-aging benchmarks.
