Winery 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: The first sniff of this wine was the strongest and it really hit me with the heat, smelling like rubbing alcohol. After that first sniff, the nose calmed a bit and i could get more of a flowery smell. The taste was pretty tart. The finish was a nice dry finish that stayed with you and it was pretty creamy. I could also taste the pineapple after reading the description.
