Winery Review:
Our rich yet vibrant Chardonnay offers intriguing aromatics of green apple, honeysuckle and stone fruit. The mouthfeel is inviting and well balanced leading the way for flavors of peach, kiwi and orange blossom. This very well balanced wine has a wonderful creamy texture yet allows the natural acidity to complete the whole varietal experience.
My Review:
Oak, oak, and oh wait... more oak! This is probably the oaky-est wine I have had thus far in my wine tasting career. Literally, there was nothing but oak on the palate for this white. The nose seemed rather promising with some hints of crisp and clean pear and vanilla. The palate, however, hit just the single-notedness of the mouthful oak. The most interesting part of this wine was probably the slight heat from the alcohol that gave it some dimension, but not very much. While I found the label of this white to be rather enticing, the overall palate was quite a disappointment. :(
