Tasting - Oak Vineyards Chardonnay


Name: Oak Vineyards Chardonnay

Country: California, USA
Year: 2010
Price: $5.95 for 750mL
           $10.95 for 1.5L


Vintage Cellar Review: This light straw-colored Oak Vineyards 2010 Chardonnay expresses smokey aromatics with nuances of apple and lemon zest that continue onto the palate where they flourish into citrus, orange blossom, and smoked oak flavors until meeting a crisp, medium finish.

My Review: This wine had a strong oak-ey scent, with a hint of lemon.  When tasting the wine, I found it very dry and tannic.  There was an aftertaste of green apple.  There was also a slight burn upon swallowing this wine.  This wine was not as bad as the Gruner Veltliner, however i still did not enjoy it.
