Winery Review: Winemaker Rob Mondavi Jr. hand-crafted with a blend of grapes from
select vineyards throughout Napa, Sonoma and the Central Coast of
California. Our Chardonnay is blended with Muscat and Chenin Blanc
displaying a pale gold color with aromas of fresh apple blossom and
honeysuckle. Flavors of crisp pear and apple are vibrant on the palate,
while its balanced oak and bright acidity makes this wine a great match
with broiled or grilled seafood, poultry dishes and a wide assortment of
cheeses.
Ned's Take: This wine had a great fruity smell. The taste imparted taste apples and some citrus. Honey flavors and a buttery feel were nice, but those seemed pretty standard for a chardonnay. There was a dried feel to the wine and the body was pretty normal. I didn't see anything special about this wine other than it being a relatively nice chardonnay.
