Tasting-- California Square Chardonnay RRV

Name: California Square Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Russian River Valley
Country: California, USA
Year: 2012
Price: $14.98

Winery review: "Delivers fragrant aromas of butter, pear, and tropical fruit; this full-bodied wine has superb richness on the palate yet it never seems heavy or cumbersome; the finish simply bursts with tropical fruit, butterscotch, and creme brulee..."

My review: The review above is the reason I purchased this Chardonnay. I have been looking for a buttery and sweet Chardonnay and this may be that wine... maybe. It's color is a not-so-spectacular pale yellow. The bouquet is full of fresh fruit and grape. The taste is really smooth as it was drunk chilled. The chardonnay taste was quite prevalent but I was able to taste the butterscotch, oaky, creme brulee flavors in the mid-palate. Crisp and quick finish.
