Chateau Morrisette- 2011 Chardonnay

Name- Chateau Morrisette 2011 Chardonnay

Variety- Chardonnay

Country- United States

Region- Virginia

Year- 2011

Price-  $17.99

Winery tasting notes- This wine is made from a blend of oak barrel fermented and stainless steel fermented Chardonnay. The aroma is redolent with rich scents of green apple, pear, vanilla, and caramel.  On the palate, oak-derived flavors of toast and butterscotch mingle with pineapple and grapefruit.  This smooth, creamy Chardonnay will pair well with seafood dishes, roasted poultry, and white mushroom sauces.

My Review- Definitely your typical run-of-the-mill Chardonnay. The nose does not overwhelm you but you definitely get hints of pear and vanilla. The taste consisted of apples and I even got a hint of dandelion. I was a tad disappointed by the underwhelming after taste. As for a recommendation I would have to pass on this wine. There are other wines out there with a better taste and structure for a better price.
