Gnarly Head
California Chardonnay
A toasty Chardonnay throughout with a nose of yellow apple and toasted pear. Toastiness continues on the pallate with flavors of lemon zest, burnt carmel, and a touch of sweet vanilla. However, this wine would benefit with a bit more fruit and freshness. The sweetness did help it pair well with spicy chicken fajitas on a rainy Tuesday night! ($9) [9/18/18]

2 people found it helpfulSep 18th, 2018Bright gold in the glass. White flowers and banana on the plump nose. Full body. Banana, white peach, and that Viognier darkness on the palate. Medium acidity. Average finish when chilled. Mostly simple with a complex thread thanks to the other varieties (Chenin Blanc, Malvasia Bianco, Viognier). Take it on a picnic.

Цвет золотистый. Аромат сильный, сладко-цитрусовый, лимоны в сахаре, сладкие пряности, банан, сладко-цветочные тона. Чуть алкогольно, кефирные тона, ряженка. Интересно. Кислотность свежая, белый изюм, Послевкусие несколько алкогольно.

Just seemed watered down. Very light flavor, slight oak. I just find myself wanting something bolder.

Sep 20th, 2019Sweetness than I expected, which was a joy. Super buttery! Nice, subtle, crisp green apple.
Dry. Hints of raisin, sweet spice.
Scents of vanilla, pear, yellow melon.
