Tasting - Avery Quinn Chardonnay

Name: Avery Quinn Chardonnay
Variety:  100% Chardonnay
Year:  2011
Region:  Napa
Country:  USA
Price:  $6.95

Review:  The 2011 vintage marks a return to form for this great value Chardonnay.  The aromas feature creamy, mellow, golden apple, pineapple, fresh butter and a touch of vanilla.  Then rich, ripe, flavors of yellow pear, pineapple, fresh apple, cream and buttered toast swell up and fill your mouth before a juicy, apple and caramel inflected finish makes your mouth water (and smile!).

My Review:  On the nose this wine was crisp and ripe with pineapple and peach aromas.  On the palate, it was very creamy, with very little acidic taste.  I tasted apples and vanilla that were very well balanced with the creaminess of the wine.  The finish was juicy, but not long.  I did not taste this wine with food.
