Type: White Wine
Variety: Chardonnay
Year/Vintage: 2005
Bottle Size: 750ml
Purchased: $11.99, PA Wine Store

Pairing(s): Grilled Chicken and Salad
My Rating: 3 Stars
Nice, light straw color with plenty of tropical fruit and citrus on the nose. Typical chardonnay characteristics on the palate, with citrus up front and some pear, apple and pineapple tones mixed in. A fair amount of oak creeps in on the mid palate and messes up the balance a little, but it still finishes OK and relatively long. Uncomplicated, mid-weight mouth feel and better with food than by itself. A little sweet and may actually pair well with fruity deserts…have to try that next time.
