Vivacious Vino - Review of Avery Quinn Chardonnay

Name: Avery Quinn Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Napa, California
Country: United States
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95
Alcohol Content: ??
With/Without Food: No food
Wine 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: I think that I am starting to really enjoy Chardonnay! Never thought I’d say that! The smell was very crisp and not too acidic. I got apples and tropical fruits and flavors like vanilla and maybe just a hint of cinnamon. The taste was very pear and apple heavy. The creaminess and caramel was definitely apparent and a nice finish.
