Tasting- Avery Quinn Chardonnay

Name: Avery Quinn
Variety: Chardonnay
Region:  Napa
Country: California
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95

Winery 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!).

Personal Review: On the nose I got ripe green apples and pineapple. This wine tasted like an apple tart. It was the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness. The finish was buttery and creamy. Overall, I really enjoyed this wine it was the perfect balance of flavors and had a lot of complexity to it.
