Tasting - Avery Quinn Chardonnay

Name: Avery Quinn Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Napa Valley, California
Country: United States
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.

My Review: This wine had a nice pineapple and apple aroma with slight vanilla. After tasting, there was definitely a butter toast flavor through the front and middle and it finished slightly dry. I did not get a lot of fruit flavors since the butter overtook them for me.

I did not have this wine with food.
