Winemaker's notes (from website): The 2011 Grayson Chardonnay is brilliantly ripe and shows bright, brisk acidity and good minerality with notes of pineapple and apricot. The palate offers green apple fruit with a crisp finish showing gentle hints of apple pie and vanilla flavors.
My tasting notes: I bought this wine to renew my confidence in chardonnays in general as I haven't found much remarkable in the other two that I've had. We really like Grayson's Cabernet-Sauvignon. This wine was a disappointment, especially at its price point. Not too much going on at all with aromas, a little bit of green apple on the palate. Finish unremarkable. Some oak present, but it seems almost out of place with this wine. A little better with cheese. Pass.
