Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 5, 2018 - It's not a bad Chardonnay. I got this from a wine club and this is a surprise. This was the "lower" bottle (I'll call it) from the 94+ wine club.

The nose is on point. Very good Italian Chardonnay. Matter of fact, this is the standard from what I would expect a Chardonnay to smell like. The taste is not as great as the nose.

The taste has everything you would expect: Lemon, Tart, Apple. However, you get a bit of raw pineapple and bitterness at the end. Everything is on point in the beginning, it's really lovely, but the finish gets a bit rough.

I think it needs more oak or it was pulled a week to early from the vines. The acidity is just a hair off and bit too much in the tannin department. I do really like it. Overall, for the price (which is a steal), this would work as a PnP for most any occasion. You could talk it up about it being an Italian Chardonnay and impress the regular people at your party. Anyone who wants a buttery Chardonnay will not like this one at all.
