Tasting - Avery Quinn Chardonnay

Name:  Avery Quinn Chardonnay
Variety:  Chardonnay
Region:  Napa
Country:  California
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:  In the wine glass, this wine was a golden yellow color.  On the nose it has a very buttery and pear smell.  On the palate it was very light and flavorful.  This wine tasted of butter and caramel.  I enjoyed this Chardonnay.

I did not drink this wine with food.
