Variety: Chardonnay
Country: Spain (Chardonnnay)
Price: $5.95
Vintage Cellar 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: So I never drink chardonnays because they always taste so dry, but this was semi-pleasing. The smell didn't lead on to any breakthroughs too. It was a bold sour smell that covered up any fruit that might have come through. However, the taste was not like this. I really liked how it had a nice full pear flavor that just covered the inside of my mouth. While it did have nods of dry flavor to it, it wasn't overwhelming the other flavors and balanced really nicely. If you have any pre-conceived notions about chardonnays, then I definitely recommend this as a beginning to understanding them.
