Tasting - Avery Quinn Chardonnay

Name:  Avery Quinn
Variety:  100% Chardonnay
Region:  Napa Valley, California
Country:  United States
Year:  2011
Price:  $6.95

Winery review:  The 2011 vintage marks a return to form 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:  With apples and cream on the nose, this wine is a classic Napa Valley chardonnay. It was creamy and buttery, yet crisp and acidic on the palate with hints of pear and pineapple; a very refreshing wine.

Food:  Did not have with food
