Critics Review of the Wine:
"Featuring citrus and pineapple aromas, this light Chardonnay delights the taste buds with a soft entry, entrancing apple character, and lingering acidity. A fruit forward wine bestowed with a heavenly smooth finish. Pairs wonderfully with a wide variety of seafoods and lighter meats." - Chateau Morrisette - Products - Angel Chardonnay (thedogs.com)
Wine Folly:

Some of the specific aromas mentioned with Chardonnay include yellow apple, starfruit, pineapple, vanilla, and butter. I was able to detect the yellow apple and the pineapple, but I could not really get much of the butter or vanilla.

Says that Chardonnay tends to pair well with creamy, buttery flavors and points to Lobster as the best pair. This is very interesting because in the review from the winery also highlights seafood as a great pair for the Angel Chardonnay.
My Personal Review:
Angel Chardonnay was not necessarily my favorite after I first tasted it, but it grew on me as I drank it. Like I mentioned in the Wine Folly section, I was able to pick up the pineapple and the apple, but I was never really able to get the butter or vanilla flavors. This wine was kind of bitter finishing in my opinion, which I was not very big on, but it was still solid overall. I did not pair this with any food, but maybe next time I will try pairing it with seafood, specifically lobster.
