Chardonnay 2009
Varietal: Chardonnay
California, USA
15.00 USD
Vanilla cream soda nose with a slice of fresh cut pineapple. Full body, tropical fruit, spice and pleasing vanilla oak note linger in the finish. Sweet flavor on the palate is from sur-lie aging the wine on the primary yeast lees for 6 months. A versatile style of wine that can be served chilled with fine cuisine or a glass with friends (WINEMAKER’S NOTES)
Being aged sur-lie for 6 months provided this wine with an interesting bread-like yeasty smell to it. It had everything you'd expect from a California
chardonnay. Lots of rich fruit on the nose and there was definitely oak there
as well. It was however, surprisingly light. It still had the creaminess
to it and had nice body but it wasn't overwhelming. Again it was fairly fruity
on the palate with some hints of vanilla from the oak but the bread like
smell and yeasty taste was an interesting add.
