Petit Reserve Paso Robles Chardonnay
Paso Robles, Central Coast, California, USA
Review of the TJs Petit Reserve 2013 Chardonnay from Paso. Totally drinkable, but just not great in any way.

Color of light gold, a bit bubbly. Nose of ripe fruits, combination of banana, pineapple, and mango, a bit lychee, and a bit crayon indeed. Taste follows the nose with more lychee and ripe fruit, some bittersweet grapefruit, a bit nutty also. Nice mix of acidity and sweetness. Aftertaste is medium and leaning towards grapefruit flavor, a bit warmth from alcohol. Above average.

Agree, totally drinkable, but not my favorite style. This is very tart, like green apples in a glass. Said lightly oaked, but seems more like a steel fermented Chardonnay. Mineral and acid more pronounced. $6.99
