Tasting Estrella Chardonnay






Name Estrella Chardonnay
Variety Chardonnay
Region Napa, CA
Country United States
Year 2010
Price $5.95 

Critic's Review Intensely flavored and balanced with layers of vanilla, butter and pear, followed by apple, banana and oak.

My Thoughts This chardonnay is pale yellow in color. Hints of fruit - apple and banana are present. But, the wine is perhaps more earthy than I would expect from a white.  It is crisp and refreshing.  However, I feel it's a wine better crafted for sipping during the summer months than pairing with food. It is classic Cali Chardonnay in its oaky, buttery quality.

This wine was not paired with any food.
