Critic's Review This light straw-colored Oak Vineyards 2010 Chardonnay expresses smokey aromatics with nuances of apple and lemon zest that continue onto the palate where they flourish into citrus, orange blossom, and smoked oak flavors until meeting a crisp, medium finish.

My Thoughts This Chardonnay is heavy with oak both on the nose and mid palate. It was smokey on the notes with hints of burnt leather. On the palate, there was a citrus aspect. Lime and pear and apple flavors were masked by an oaky component. This wine finished light with subtle floral notes.

This wine was not paired with any food.
