Tasting - Oak Vineyard Chardonnay




Name: Oak Vineyard Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Country: Napa & Sonoma California
Year: 2010
Price: $5.95

Vintage Cellar Review: Quite an interesting Chardonnay, in an era when so many are too sweet and extracted. There’s plenty of orange and apricot fruit flavor, but also a brilliant streak of minerality, like a lick of cold steel, and the overall taste is dry. Really easy to like, with lots of complexity to warrant repeated sipping.

My Review:  This wine smelled creamy.  There was also a hint of oakyness to the nose.  When initially tasting the wine there was an overwhelming tropical fruit flavor.  The wine was very smooth, with little or no burn upon swallowing.
