Tasting - Foxhollow Chardonnay 2012

Foxhollow Chardonnay 2012
California, USA
Regular Price: $12
Sale Price: $5.95

Tasting Notes from The Vintage Cellar: This Chardonnay’s aromas of tropical pineapple, crisp green apple and citrus are supported by underlying nuances of vanilla. The finish is smooth and creamy yet balanced with enough acidity to accentuate the vibrant fruit flavors with a hint of orange blossoms.

I really enjoyed this Chardonnay when I tried it at The Vintage Cellar! Chardonnays are really hard to go wrong with in my opinion. I got little on the bouquet but thought it had a very nice, balanced golden color. The fruity and oak flavors were very enjoyable. I ended up buying myself a bottle of this Chardonnay and had a glass after the tasting. The next day I had another glass and noticed some differences in the taste. After being aired out for a day, the oak flavors were more subtle and the crisper, acidic fruit flavors were more prominent. Still a great Chardonnay, but I feel I liked it better at the tasting than when I brought it home with me for a full glass.
