Winemaker's Review:
"Our Chardonnay is a great balance of bright citrus and honey with a touch of oak character and hints of juicy peach. Crafted with care so that no single flavor outpowers another, this wine is simply delicious."
Wine Folly Reference (96 - 97):
One of the world's most popular grapes, chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from sparkling Blanc de Blancs to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak. Tasting notes include yellow apple, starfruit, pineapple, vanilla, and butter. Additional tasting notes from the California chardonnays include lemon zest, pie crust, and nutmeg.
My Review:
Initially, the wine has a buttery, oaky, and lemon smell along with a pretty yellow color. Initially, the taste was pretty creamy and sweet, with more robust notes of lemon, honey, orange blossom, and apricot. There was a tannic, dry taste at the end, and finished on a grassier note. Overall, this wine was pretty mediocre, yes I could go for another glass of it, but I'm not the biggest fan of chardonnays - especially more oaky, buttery ones.
