Tasting-- Foxglove Chardonnay

Name: Foxglove Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay
Region: Central Coast
Country: California
Year: 2011
Price: $15.95

Winery review: "91 Pts, Wine Advocate. A beauty, as well as an absurd value. Very clean and lively, with classic Chardonnay notes of juiced apple, citrus, and minerality, it is clean and focused on the palate with the richness of the variety , yet also beautiful precision and focus. Classy and well-made, without any apparent oak, it should be purchased by the case and consumed over the coming 2-3 years. Drink now -2016."

My review: Foxglove Chardonnay was a rather tasty white wine. It's nose was clean with apple and citrusy notes. The taste was pretty decent, with apple, fruits, oaky notes. There was a nutty / bready quality to this wine which reminded me of residual yeast. Overall, a decent Chardonnay.
