Wine Tasting – Avery Quinn Chardonnay

Name: Avery Quinn Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Napa, California
Country: United States of America
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 the 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: This wine had a strong nose of Jonah Gold apples. Super fragrant and wonderful. It even had hints of white grape (haha) and lychee. On the palate, the wine turned out to be buttery, strongly apple-y. It was dry, not sweet as I thought it’d be, and had no lingering finish.

With food?: I didn’t try this wine with food.
