Winery Review: "With luxurious aromas of ripe mango, pineapple, Mandarin orange and sweet citrus zest, this vibrant Chardonnay beckons a first sip. On the smooth, supple palate, refreshing acidity adds poise and polish to the tropical fruit flavors, with hints of vanilla and toasted almonds adding complexity to a long, lush finish." (Found on Decoy Wines website).
Wine Folly: pg. 93 on Kindle on Chardonnay in general. Very smooth and buttery. I picked up on the vanilla and got a bit of oak as well. Very dry and did not taste too acidic. I should have chilled the wine, but did not have time. I would like to try again after chilling.
My Review: I thought this wine was too rich for my taste. I do not like the buttery flavors and felt that it just tasted alcohol-y. I could taste the citrus in this but didn't like how the flavors were balanced. While it's as dry as other wines I've tried and liked, I just wanted it to do a little bit more for my palate than it did. Was not anything super special.
I tasted this wine without food.
