Tasting - Morro Bay White Oak Estates: Chardonnay

Name: Morro Bay White Oak Estates  
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Lodi, California
Country: USA
Year: 2009
Price: $5.95

Wine Makers Notes: Vanilla cream soda nose with a slice of fresh cut pineapple. Full body, tropical fruit, spice and pleasing vanilla oak note linger in the finish. Sweet flavor on the palate is from sur-lie aging the wine on the primary yeast lees for 7 months. A versatile style of wine that can be served chilled with fine cuisine or a glass with friends. Certified Green by Lodi Rules Sustainable Winegrowers.

Smells Like: woody - oak, strange fruity smell - probably a tropical fruit. The strangeness could be the fruit mixing with the woody scent.

Tastes Like: earthy and nutty. There was a nice smooth sweet-ish finish.
