Tasting - Oak Vineyards Chardonnay

Name: Oak Vineyards Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: California
Country: U.S.
Year: 2010
Price: $5.95 for 750 ml and $10.95 for 1.5 Liters

Critic 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 had an earthy aroma, with a hint of peaches, like a peach rolled in dirt.  At first taste, there wasn't too much flavor to it, but the finish was very very peachy.  It seemed a little out of balance, slightly too acidic and a little hot.  I did not try this wine with food.
