So it's been a while, no? Yeah. My bad. Being a college student is rough sometimes. Especially this past month. No excuse, by anyway. I got a facebook message from a fan asking for some new posts today. How can you ignore that? Can't. So, today I resolved to really have some vino. And I have. My mom and I picked up some of this Chardonnay at Sunflower Market this week. Super cheap. We like that.
Supercheap can backfire though. Basically, the nose on this guy was full, sweet, and soft. I was suspicious of how utterly pleasant it was. $3.33 cent wine isn't supposed to be great. Anyway, the nose did mislead me a bit. This wine is slightly bitter when you open it up, but it does mellow out nicely. Though, the dense, alcoholic quality of it never goes away. This Chard is super one-note. It has a taste (not a terrible one) and that's about it. No finish to speak of. Nada.
Technical Info:
Varietal: 100% Chardonnay
Alcohol: 14.35%
Origin: Isleton, CA
Price: ~$3.33 at Sunflower Market.
Rachel's Grade: C Though this is a super great value wine, it's just not that awesome. If you're just looking to get a killer buzz, this is for you. But if you're looking for a flavor, go look somewhere else. I'm not a huge fan, though I am pretty nicely relaxed right now.... still, not worth it.
