Shop/wine critic/winery review:
The 2010 Chardonnay presents subtle notes of spiced apple slices and ripe peaches with hints of freshly baked bread and melon. Light bodied, clean and refreshingly crisp in the mouth, it offers just enough apple and pear flavor concentration, finishing with medium-long persistence. Drink it now to 2014.
My Review:
This wine has a light golden color and hints of apple, pear, and honey on the nose. Upon tasting, this wine is very light bodied (almost watery), but clean and crisp. There's a little bit of apple flavor, but there is a sharp tart lasting finish that is not incredibly pleasant, to put it lightly. It's like drinking water that punches you on the way down, and not in a fun way. Arguably, the notes above recommend drinking this wine through 2014, so it could just be that it's on its way out, but regardless, this wine is not worth drinking for $5 as it is now, let alone $9.95 or $20. 72-73/100
