Chateau Morrisette- Angel Chardonnay

Name- Angel Chardonnay

Variety- Chardonnay with Vidal Blanc

Country- United States

Region- Virginia

Year- N/A/

Price- $12.99

Winemaker notes- Trumpeting a tropical halo of pineapple, papaya and citrus aromas, this light Chardonnay delights the taste buds with a soft entry and lingering acidity. A fruit forward wine bestowed with a heavenly smooth finish, Angel is a blend of barrel and tank fermented Chardonnay complemented with Riesling, Viognier and Vidal Blanc.

My review- I immediately noticed with the nose of this wine a citrus component with a hint of lime (for some reason). Also like when you open up an orange and the scent associated with that. My first taste of this wine consisted immediately of pineapples. I do not particularly care for pineapples but this taste had all of the good characteristics of that taste. I also got the citrus taste again on my palate, but it was not as strong as in the nose. Overall, a very solid Chardonnay that I would definitely recommend.
