Wine Store Review: (ABC Fine Wine & Spirits) "The perfect balance of citrus, melon, and peach flavors combine with a creamy mouth feel to a long lingering finish of peach and white spice. This is a lovely fresh and zesty wine that is also supported nicely by subtle, toasty oak."
Wine Folly: Some dominant flavors found within Chardonnays include yellow apple, starfruit, pineapple, butter, and chalk. It tends to be a fuller-bodied, mild acidity, fruity wine. It originated within France and stands today as the world's most planted white grape. (pages 72-74)
My Review: On the nose, I felt this wine smelled like a mandarin orange cup with a hint of something deeper, like a musky vanilla. There are definite fruity scents emanating through, like citrus, peach, and for me, a tropical fruit like pineapple. Despite all of the fruity aromas hitting me up front, the main profile I taste does not have a super attacking acidity. There are major notes of apple and pineapple for me, and a definite creamy finish that has an oaky and vanilla essence to it. Overall this is a delicious and smooth wine that I really enjoyed!
