Winery: Frog's Leap
Wine: Chardonnay
Retail: $30.79
Description: Fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks and older French Oak barrels, the Frog’s Leap Chardonnay eschews the heavy vanilla and buttery flavors typical of high-malolactic, high-alcohol wines. Instead, aromas of apple and pear give way to the lighter, more delicate aromas of orange blossoms. The wine enters the palate cleanly and brightly with flavors of apricot, wet stone, and a hint of vanilla. Balanced by the wine’s acid the mouth-feel stays lively and light finishing with a great sense of earthiness.
Ratings: n/a
Review: 90. Oakey nose, with hints of apple. Mid to heavy weight. Green apple flavors with pear. Good support. Exibits an intriguing undercurrent of flavors inculding tobacco, blood orange, and more, but those flavors never come out. Mediocre finish.
