Tasting- Fox Hollow Chardonnay


Name:  Fox Hollow Chardonnay
Variety:  Chardonnay
Region:  California, Napa and Sonoma Valley
Country:  USA
Year:  2009
Price:  $5.95
Review:  Quite an interesting Chardonnay, in an era when so many are too sweet and extracted. There’s plenty of orange and apricot fruit flavor, but also a brilliant streak of minerality, like a lick of cold steel, and the overall taste is dry. Really easy to like, with lots of complexity to warrant repeated sipping
My Review:  This wine had a light citrus smell of apples and pears.  It tasted like lemon juice squirted over apples.  It was slightly tart and I feel like there was more going on that I could not quite describe.  Not as good as the Sauvignon Blanc though.

I tried this wine without food.
