Tasting - "Foxglove Chardonnay"

Name: Foxglove Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Central Coast, California
Country: USA
Year: 2011
Price: $15.95

Winery Review: "Foxglove Chardonnay always represents a great value. With this wine you have the richness of fruit from California's Central Coast giving you tropical notes. However, the wine is bottled without going through malolactic fermentation and has no oak on it so it maintains a very clean profile. Great on it's own or with food it's a very versatile Chardonnay."

My Review: I appreciated that this Chardonnay was unoaked, which I prefer. It had a strong petrol or gasoline scent, like a lot of Chardonnays, but very little on the palate. In fact, this Foxglove had some lovely orange peel and citrus notes that gave it a surprising freshness.
