Tasting: Chardonnay




Name: Morro Bay White Oak Estates Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Lodi, CA
Country: USA
Year: 2008
Price: $5.95

Winery Review: 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 7 months. A versatile style of wine that can be served chilled with fine cuisine or a glass with friends. Certified Green by Lodi Rules Sustainable Winegrowers.

My Review: This wine smelled amazing. I can’t really describe the smell. It was a mixture of things, the oak kind of came through in the smell. It was an oaked chardonnay and the oak was overpowering. The smell of the wine was woody. The taste was almost had a burnt wine aftertaste.
