Wine Shop Review: A very nice value Chardonnay that comfortably over-delivers vs. its modest price tag. No oak here, just bushels of clean, crisp, Chardonnay apple and stone fruit with a hint of caramelized pineapple. Juicy and clean, this is a mid-weight white that's just perfect for parties or weeknight sipping.
My Review: This was an unoaked chardonnay, so I was intrigued to see how the Chardonnay grape would taste without the influence of oak. The wine had a pale yellow color, maybe a little paler than some Chardonnays from the lack of oak. There wasn't much happening on the nose, a little bit fruity, but nothing overly exciting. Maybe it's because I'm used to the oak taste, but I found this one lacking something. It had a thin, tropical fruit flavor, Overall, not a favorite, I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it. I didn't try this with any food.
