Tasting - Rappahannock cellars chardonnay

 1)  

2) 
3) Rappahannock Cellars, Chardonnay, United States, Virginia, 2017, $25

4) Review from Viviano: Big yellow apple and lime. a very consistent grape for this winery. Almost like pencil shavings on the nose. a bit of pear

5) from wine folly: One of the world's most popular grapes, chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from sparkling blanc de blancs to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak. Flavors include yellow apple, starfruit, pineapple, vanilla, and butter. Mostly made in France and USA.

6) I drank this with no food. Smelled the citrus and slight vanilla flavors before I drank. Light mouth feel but a little dry, a little creamy almost. Went down smoothly. The flavors were apple and buttery. I wasn't sure what oak aging did to a wine before but I know now! Overall rating 7.7/10

 1.  2.  3. Winking Owl, Sauvignon Blanc, United States, California, 2017, $2.99 4. Review from Viviano, This white wine opens nose of citrus and floral. It is dry with light citrus and acidity. flavors of green apple, peach, and citrus 5. From wine folly, A unique tasting white wine with strong herbaceous flavors that are derived from compounds called methoxypyrazines. Flavors include gooseberry, honeydew, grapefruit, white peach, and passion fruit. Made in many different places. pages 165-166 6. I had this wine with no food. The feel in the mouth was very light and dry but not crazy dry. I did not taste a lot of the herbaceous flavors described in the book. I tasted more green apple and citrus flavors. Maybe a little lemon too. I did not enjoy it as much as the other wines I've tasted so far. It said on the bottle to pair this with seafood or light pasta dishes so I will have to try that next time. Overall rating 7.0/10
