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.
