Tasting: Sterling Vineyards Vintner's Collection Chardonnay

Name: Sterling Vineyards Vintner's Collection Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Napa Valley, California
Country: USA
Year: 2015
Price: $12

Winery Review: The Sterling Vineyards Napa Valley Chardonnay is a luminous, light gold color in the glass with fragrant aromas of fresh lemon crème, citrus, crisp apple and toasted hazelnut. The inviting nose leads to a richly textured palate with flavors of citrus, stone fruit and a honey almond character. The wine is well-balanced between an elegant, creamy roundness and a line of bright acidity. The pleasing finish is persistent and flavorful.

My Review: This wine smelled of citrus, honey, and green apples. The taste was a bit too acidic from the start for me and very mineraly, but I got some toasted nuts, cream, and apples dashed with lemon, but the acidity carried on to the aftertaste and all of the flavors together made me not a fan.

I did not taste this wine with food.
