Tuesday, April 16, 2014

Name: Gnarly Head

 

Variety: Chardonnay (13.5% Alcohol)

Country: United States

Year: 2012

My Review: This wine is a rich, shiny golden color and appears to be relatively full bodied for a white wine.  This wine smells of pears, lemon, and there is a slight creamy/buttery aroma.  This wine tastes very buttery with a creamy texture, and there is also a sweet fruity aroma on the initial palate.  This wine is smooth, but there is nothing too distinct that stands out about this wine.

Winery Review: Gnarly head Chardonnay is fresh and vibrant with a spirit of adventure, delivering bright tropical pineapple, pear, and melon with clean citrus and a touch of vanilla.  Chill down and pair with grilled scallops, rotisserie chicken, or fresh mixed green salad.

I did not drink this with food

I might drink this again (7/10)
