Name: Chalone Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay (13.5% alcohol)
Region: Monterry County, California
Country: United States
Year: 2011
Price: $10
My Review: This wine looks relatively thick for a white wine with slower legs than usual. It has a strong acidic smell, especially of lemons. There is also a hint of tropical fruit. It is a bitter wine that tastes just as it smells. It has somewhat of a hot finish due to its relatively high alcohol content for a white wine.
Winery Review: At Chalone Vineyard, we believe that great wine comes from great vineyards. The cooling effect of nearby Pacific Ocean allows the grapes to slowly ripen on the vine, giving our Chardonnay firm acidity and crisp pear, apple, and nectarine flavors. As the pioneer in the Monterey wine region, we bring you great wines that reflect the unique characteristics of Monterey County vineyards.
I did not drink this with food
