Tasting- Avery Quinn Chardonnay



Name: Avery Quinn Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Country: USA
Region: Napa Valley, California
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95

Wine Shop Review: The 2011 vintage marks a return to form for this great value Chardonnay. The aromas feature creamy, mellow, golden apple, pineapple, fresh butter and a touch of vanilla. Then rich, ripe, flavors of yellow pear, pineapple, fresh apple, cream, and buttered toast swell up and fill your mouth before a juicy, apple and caramel inflected finish makes your mouth water (and smile!).
My Review: This is by far the best Chardonnay that I have had this year. I especially enjoyed the nose because it was extremely fruity with distinct pineapple, pear and apple flavors coming through. I also got other citrus fruits. As soon as I tasted it I got immediate pear flavors coming through. It also had a nice apple and pineapple tinge to it as well. In addition to this, it had a very creamy consistency that was very nice in the mouth. The finish left my mouth watering and wanting more, which is why I bought a bottle to enjoy later.

I did not taste this wine with food.
