I read about this wine, available at Trader Joe's for a song. The 2023 Copilot Chardonnay hails from the Carneros region of Napa Valley. The label shows a dog with flying goggles pushed back on his head. I wonder if a dyslexic winemaker is suggesting that "dog" is his copilot. That remains a mystery. Alcohol hits 14% abv and it is a bit of a bargain, at just $8.
This wine has a greenish gold color to it. The nose offers citrus, minerality and oak spice. The oak shows on the palate, too, along with lemon, pear, apple, and apricot notes. It is a bit oaky, but not too much so. The acidity is brisk and finish is long, with minerals and citrus lasting the longest.
