Smoking Loon
The Original California Chardonnay


No recognizable fruit flavors to this wine, ( zero, nilch, nada.)
All I taste is acidity and alcohol. It Probably won't add anything for cooking either.
This one is circling the drain.

Great 2014 wine with a good balance between being dry and smooth. Had in Jackson New Hampshire in 2017.

I really did not like this wine. Tasted like stale candy with a hint of oak

2014v. Not a fan. Yellow apple, lime peel, and a kiss of baking spice oak. Some hints of chalk and saline on the finish. Overall, a little dull and flabby, lacking any bright fruit or acidity. 13.5% ABV. FYI: I bought this and a Bogle chard at the grocery store for roughly the same price. The Bogle was much more bold (but done well) in fruit and vanilla oak.
