Tasting - Avery Quinn Chardonnay

Name: Avery Quinn
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Napa, California
Country: USA
Year: 2011
Price:  $6.95

Winery Review:
The 2011 vintage marks a return for this great value Chardonnay. The aromas feature creamy, mellow, golden apple, pineapple, fresh butter and a touch of vanilla. Then rich, ripe, flavors of yellow pear, pineapple, fresh apple, cream and buttered toast swell up and fill your mouth before a juicy, apple and caramel inflected finish makes your mouth water (and smile!).

My Review: I got a very green apple and fruity nose. The color was very golden and looked almost like gasoline in the glass. I thought that it was a very floral palate and was very sweet at first but then slightly tart. It was a little too buttery for me but there were small hints of vanilla that added a nice touch.

I did not taste this wine with food.
