Francis Coppola - Gold Label Chardonnay - 2002

Given my love of Coppola's Claret, I bought the Coppola Merlot and Chardonnay as well. I brought the Chardonnay to Nashville with us for Thanksgiving with my family.

It needed time to breathe, but it turned out to be a decent Chard. Better than a typical everyday or cheap bottle. Again in the 18-22 range, it could serve as a reliable mid-range chard. It went well with the turkey and the rest of the thanksgiving trimmings.
