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 was a rather pale Chardonnay. The nose had some strong stinky yeast aromas with a bit of tropical fruit in the background. I do like a little bit of stink sometimes with my wine. On the palette this was smooth like buttered popcorn. Again there were some tropical aspects, like mango, lingering on the edges. I can't decide whether I like Chardonnay better buttery and creamy like this or fresh and fruity better. I think this wine is a great value.
