Toad Hollow's Review:
Tasting Notes: Fruity, crisp, clean, steely, peaches, grapefruit,citrus.
Vineyards: Mendocino County, Stainless Steel Fermented
Winemaking: Chardonnay, 100% Malolactic Fermentation
My First Impression: There is a toad on the front of this bottle, wearing a yellow vest, holding a wine glass and he has his pinky out... this better be good. (do you see an animal trend yet?)
Smells Like: melon, citrus-y, and maybe a little apple. The smell of this wine smelled a little bit like alcohol but once you get through that smell you can start to detect the melon and then the citrus stands out a lot.
Tastes Like: Not very sweet at all. There is a little hint of pear, but its tart and citrus-y. There may be a hint of honey dew hiding under the citrus flavor. There is a medium length after taste that holds a lot of heat.
