Tasting - Oak Vineyards

Name: Oak Vineyards
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2010
Price: $5.95


Winery Review:  This light straw-colored Oak Vineyards 2010
Chardonnay expresses smokey aromatics with nuances of apple and lemon zest that continue onto the palate where they flourish into citrus, orange blossom, and smoked oak flavors until meeting a crisp, medium finish. 

My review:  This wine was light, pale yellow color.  Scents of rubber and creme hit the nose first.  They were the most apparent smells but were not very strong. This wine had clearly been oaked but it was no overwhelming.  It had a very smooth feel with just a hint of acidity.  This was a great full bodied wine.  One of the better Chardonnay's that I have tasted at the Vintage Cellar.


I tasted this wine on its own without food.
