Tasting - Stickybeak Chardonnay


Name - Stickybeak 

Varietal - Chardonnay


Country- United States, California


Year - 2009

Price - $12.95

Shop/wine critic/winery review - The nose shows intense characters of pear, spice and almond with underlying white peach notes.  The palate is long and powerful displaying dried pear, toasty, creamy custard tart and nuances of cashew with lingering stone fruit and a fresh, clean acid finish.

My Review - The color of this wine was a golden yellow.  The nose was a literal "oak monster".  It was so strong with oak I thought I was smelling an actual barrel.  The nose also featured almonds and toast.  By far the strongest nose I have tried this far.  The palate feature heavy oak, almonds, cream and a medium body.  Rating 8/10.

Food - None
