VC Review:
“The 2011 vintage marks a return to form for this
great value Chardonnay. The aromas feature creamy, mellow, golden apple,
pineapple, fresh butter and a touch of vanilla. Then rich, ripe, flavors
of yellow pear, pineapple, fresh apple, cream and buttered toast swell up and
fill your mouth before a juicy, apple and caramel inflected finish makes your
mouth water (and smile!).”
My Review:
I could smell pear and Pine-sol
upon first whiff. While I wouldn’t say the oak MONSTER was apparent, it was
definitely somewhat oaky. There was a butterscotch/vanilla taste
with a light pineapple component. The pineapple was most evident in the clean, refreshingly biting finish. It felt like actually eating post-meal pineapple, which is
healthy for you. Healthy alcohol (or at least the thought of it) is always
nice.
