Tasting - Morrow Bay


Name: Morro Bay White Oak Estates
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Lodi, California
Country: United States
Year: 2009
Price: $5.95

Winery Review:  Vanilla cream soda nose with a slice of fresh cut pineapple. Full body, tropical fruit, spice and pleasing vanilla oak note linger in the finish. Sweet flavor on the palate is from sur-lie aging the wine on the primary yeast lees for 7months. A versatile style of wine that can be served chilled with fine cuisine or a glass with friends.  Certified Green by Lodi Rules Sustainable Winegrowers.

My review:  This was not a wine that I enjoyed.  The wine had a gold color.  The wine had an old musty smell, it was rotten and tobacco like.  The taste was full of the "oak monster" and also kind of dry.  I would not recommend this wine.

I tasted this on its own with no food.
