There is a nice weight to the wine that leads to a long, lingering finish. Aromas of apricot, butterscotch and honey are followed by stone fruit fruit flavors layered over luscious crme brle, vanilla, toasted oak and butter. Nomnom! But anyways, it's got that same color of yellow. Product description The Matchbook Chardonnay signature style is a delicious balance of fruit and toasty oak. The first time tasting white grape juice was a revelation. Have you had that stuff? I don't think I did before we had our daughter. But I'm talking about the non-alcoholic white grape juice by Welch's or something. I know that's redundant because that's what it is, smartass. It looks like white grape juice in color.
