($50):  Similar to Tongue Dancer’s 2017 Pinot Noir, their Chardonnay packs plenty of flavor.  Thankfully, despite its weight and intensity, the winemaking team maintained balance with invigorating acidity that keeps the wine fresh and lively.  It is lush with hints of tropical fruit-like flavors.  Its 14.4 percent stated alcohol explains the touch of heat in the finish.  Overall, Tongue Dancer succeeded with a bold Chardonnay that remains inbounds.
