Community Tasting Note

Thursday, June 13, 2019 - Have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of their Sonoma Cabernet, and the chardonnay can be added to this list also. PNP. Very pale-yellow in the glass. Aromas were a little shy at first but opened after exposure to air, revealing notes of ripe peach, honeysuckle and orange. Fruit flavors dominated, with tangerine, apricot, peach and honeydew melon up front with hints of almond and cut grass mixed in the background. Mouthfeel was big, fruit forward and thick delivered on an oily, bright texture. Smooth, moderately long finish. This chardonnay is all about the fruit, so those looking for a more French Chablis style presentation should probably look elsewhere. Excellent wine and very good QPR!
