Merrillie Livermore Valley Chardonnay
Livermore Valley, San Francisco Bay, California, USA
Another classic Californian Chardonnay , this one is from Livermore Valley, where I have tasted many reds over the years, only a small part in vivino. I wish to find more freshness though they are loyal to local style which I find a bit too creamy and oaky. Light gold, Apple, vanilla, citrus, grapefruit and a touch of oak, creamy yet still S bit fresh, lightly bitter acidity to continue in through the finish. My score 85, drink to 2018

Bright yellow with medium intensity. Some citrus notes on the nose, a little singular. Develops a woody undertone. Very sharp to start with moderate plus acidity (7.5/10) with a medium body. A little nutty, slight caramel and soft undertone of butter. Long and lingering finish with some minerality to finish it off. Definitely think this needs some time to mellow out.
