Oak Vineyard


Name: Oak Vineyard
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Napa and Sonoma
Country: United States
Year: 2010
Price: 5.95 (USD)
Rating: 7/10

Official Review:  "Quite an interesting Chardonnay, in an era when so many are too sweet and extracted. There's plenty of orange and apricot fruit flavor, but also a brilliant streak of minerality, like a lick of cold steel, and the overall taste is dry.  Really easy to like, with lots of complexity to warrant repeated sipping."

My Review:  I did not find this Chardonnay appealing.  I found it to be slightly above average.  However, with that being said, I do not enjoy very many Chardonnays.  Of all the Chardonnays I've had I liked this one the best.  There was a little heat towards the end of this wine.  This heat paired up with a buttery oaky finish.  The finish was the only section of this wine that I enjoyed.    I would recommend this only if you love complex Chardonnays.
