Avery Quinn


Name: Avery Quinn
Variety: Chardonnay
Origin: Napa (California)
Price: $6.95

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.
