Country: United States
Year: 2010

Wine 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: Decent. The wine was very light in color. The nose smelled just as the notes described as strong smells of oak, smoke and wood came through. The taste was a little different than some other chardonnays I have tasted as I could taste the sweetness but also tasted the oak as well. I have to say this was something I didn't really care for. The finish was nothing spectacular. I did not try this wine with food.
