Winery Review:
Simply Naked wines reveal themselves as they really are, without being hidden by the flavor of oak. Our winemaker has chosen not to oak age the wines, allowing the crisp fruit flavor and the true varietal characteristics to shine through. Simply Naked Chardonnay is a rich, fruit forward wine with crisp apple, melon and pear flavors and a touch of honey.
My Reiew:
Ahh...the favorite. While selecting a favorite wine might be like picking your favorite color or your favorite kid, this wine was love at first sight. I'm not sure if it was the clean and simple label that swept me off my feet, or its warm and charming golden hue, or just its smooth and buttery flavors that were my downfall, but I have no complaints about this wine. It goes down easy and has a very rich and smooth flavor. I am not usually a fan of dry wines, but this particular wine has quite the bang for its buck. What has easily become a new personal - and apartment - favorite, this wine is what I like to refer to as the, "safety blanket" of wines. It's the wine you get when you aren't sure if the new adventurous wines you are picking out will be any good. I encourage everyone to find their equivalent wine safety blanket, because at the end of the day (or the end of a mediocre wine night), you will not be disappointed.
And so, safety blanket of wines, this post is dedicated to you.
