Tasting - Avery Quinn Chardonnay

I did not pair this wine with food

Name: Avery Quinn Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Napa Valley
Country: California
Year: 2011
Price: $6.95

Professional Notes: The 2011 vintage marks a return to form for this great value Chardonnay.  The aromas feature creamy, mellow, golden apple, pineapple, fresh butter and a touch of vanilla.  Then rich, ripe, flavors of yellow pear, pineapple, fresh apple, cream and buttered toast swell up and fill your mouth before a juicy, apple and caramel inflected finish makes your mouth water (and smile!).
My Review: This Chardonnay was straw yellow in color. It had a nice nose of apples, and a hint of banana. It had a nice buttery, creamy flavor; I enjoyed the mixture. I definitely recommend this affordable wine. I bought a bottle of it after the tasting.
