Tasting - Tribute Chardonnay

For this week's tasting, I tried the Tribute Chardonnay.  I chose this specific Chard because I liked the look of the bottle.  Here's my overall review of the Tribute Chardonnay!

Name: Tribute Chardonnay

Variety: Chardonnay

Country of Origin: United States 

Region of Origin: California

Vintage Year: 2019

Price: $14.99

Wine Review: A big, rounded wine with aromas of ripe pear, crisp apple, and bright citrus met with decadent vanilla and crème brûlée through the mid-palate and finish.  (93 pts, The Tasting Panel Magazine).

Wine Folly: Referenced from pages 96 and 97, Chardonnay.  I definitely got scents of citrus and floral.  Tastes of apple and baking spices on the palate.  I did not get the pineapple.  I did taste hints of vanilla and butter, after a second taste.   

Personal Wine Review:  This Chardonnay honestly wasn't my favorite.  It was very light, which I liked, but with only faint notes of floral and citrus on the palate.  Strong scents fruit and rubbing alcohol, which was not pleasant.  Very acidic scent overall as well.
