Shop/wine critic/winery review: "This Chardonnay offers a wine with an attractive color and lovely aromas, such as ripe pear and pineapple, mixed with butter and vanilla notes. It is a fresh style of white wine, with medium persistence in mouth. Ideal as an aperitif." Vintage Cellar
My review: I have a very specific bouquet description for this wine: raw chicken on a backyard deck. You know the smell of nice deck boards? Not quite "oakiness", but something else...but a very distinct raw chicken smell in there as well. It had a straw/wheat component as well and held that into the wine's flavor profile as well. This was a medium-bodied wine that was slightly dry and acidic. A very interesting take on chardonnay that differs so much from the typical California Chardonnays! It was interesting and would have tasted great with food.
This wine was tasted at the Vintage Cellar in Blacksburg, VA without food.
