The Vintage Cellar
Review: Made from 85% Chardonnay, 15% Viogner. 30% malolactic fermentation, 30% was aged in
French oak barrels. Brilliant yellow
golden color with green hints. The wine
is crisp and filled with white peach, pear, green apple flavors, toasty
vanilla. Elegant and luscious wine, well
balanced. Crisp and long finish. Pairs well with creamy soups, pork, veal,
vegetables.
My Review: The
smell of this wine reminds me of potpourri made of flowers. It also tastes like I swallowed some potpourri. It feels creamy so it is surprising that
there is a bitter after affect. I can feel the hot alcohol more than I would
like. I don’t get any of the fruit
described in the review. I get more of a
floral scent and taste.
