Tasting - Picket Fence Chardonnay

Name: Picket Fence Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Russian River Valley, California
Country: United States
Year: 2012
Price: $14.95

Winery Review: Citrus blossom, hints of ripe stone fruit, creme brulee, and a bright balanced acidity. I imagine this rich Chardonnay paired with a lobster risotto garnished with slivers of citrus peel, thyme and white pepper. Or a simple roast chicken, coated with herbes de Provence, sea salt and a light dusting of freshly grated nutmeg instead of black pepper.

My Review: This wine had a buttery and citrus aroma. However, despite a buttery aroma, it was fairly light in flavor with a smooth start and a light acidic finish. While it had the aroma of an oaked Chardonnay, it did not taste like one.

I did not have this wine with food.
