Winery review: Quite an interesting Chardonnay, in an era when so many are too sweet and extracted. There's plenty of orange and apricot fruit flavor, but also a brilliant streak of minerality, like a lick of cold steel, and the overall taste is dry. Really easy to like, with lots of complexity to warrant repeated sipping.
My review: This wine was a quite oaky and maybe even skunky on the nose. The taste followed suit with the scent; very oaky, bitter, acidic and dry. I did not enjoy this wine, and I can honestly say the only thing I agree with in the above review is that this wine was dry. Not an enjoyable experience.
I tasted this on its own without food.
