Winery Review: A rich, ripe, and tropical Monterey chardonnay! Pretty toasted oak wrapped around layers of pineapple, pear, and citrus. Lengthy, round, and creamy aftertaste that lingers well into the next sip. A solid core of acidity and a seamless wine from start to finish. Great as a companion to a dinner of salmon or a rich pasta like Fettuccini Alfredo. I actually enjoyed a glass of this wine while preparing a saffron risotto the night that I wrote these notes . The tragedy was that I had to use a half cup of this wine in the recipe (I didn't have a cheap white wine on hand). However, all anguish went away when I poured myself a glass to enjoy with my creation.
My Review: This golden wine was definitely different from the others that I have tasted so far. The aromas were very sweet and spicy, with some citrus scents mixed in. When the wine first entered my mouth it tasted surprisingly like a mix of oranges and other sweet fruits. That original sweet taste was very short lived however, and the wine became incredibly dry and acidic. This is by far the driest wine I have tried, but it is still a pretty good drink. I did not have any food with this wine.
