Unoaked Chardonnay


We tried the Dominican Oaks California Unoaked Chardonnay from 2012.  



Appearance: golden yellow with legs 

Smell: pear, apple, slight lime, grape

Taste: very slightly fizzy, smooth mouthfeel, pear, apple, short smooth pear beginning note, tart green apple finish, very light bodied.

Pairings: cheese was fine with the wine according to Brit.  The Swartzwelders had burgers and coleslaw for dinner.  Brit had salmon for dinner.  The Hogans had chicken parmasean for dinner (which we think effected their rating).  Heavy food and chocolate do not go well with this wine.  Please note that our wines we consumed after dinner and not with dinner.

Brit Scale Ratings:

Brit: 3
Sherry: 3
Erin: 4
Robin: 2
Melissa: 2
