Tasting - Oak Vineyards Chardonnay



   



Name: Oak Vineyards Chardonnay
Variety:  Chardonnay
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2010
Price: $6 

Winery 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: I picked up on a pineapple and apple nose that was followed with fruity, apple flavors with a slight oak background. There was no "oak monster" here; this was a well balanced wine that I really enjoyed. I did not pick up any of the orange, citrus notes as I tasted like the review said, but everyone's palate is different I guess. 


I tasted this on its own with no food.
