Tasting- Morro Bay White Oak Chardonnay

Name:  Morro Bay White Oak Chardonnay
Variety:  Chardonnay
Region:  Lodi, California
Country:  USA
Year:  2009
Price:  $14 (sale: $5.95)
Review:  Vanilla cream soda nose with a slice of fresh cut pineapple. Full body, tropical fruit, spice and pleasing vanilla oak note linger in the finish. Sweet flavor on the palate is from sur-lie aging the wine on
the primary yeast lees for 7 months. A versatile style of wine that can be served chilled with fine cuisine or a glass with friends. Certified Green by Lodi Rules Sustainable Winegrowers

My Review:  This wine had a slightly damp smell to it, which was an instant turnoff.  I did not care for the bitter, petrol aftertaste either.  Definitely a pass.

I tried this wine without food.
