Tasting- One Hope Chardonnay


Name: One Hope Chardonnay
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2009
Price: 11.95
Shop: Vintage Cellar
Winemaker's Review:  WINEMAKER ROB MONDAVI JR. - ONEHOPE California Chardonnay is hand-crafted with a blend of grapes from select vineyards throughout Napa, Sonoma and the Central Coast of California. Our Chardonnay is blended with Muscat and Chenin Blanc displaying a pale gold color with aromas of fresh apple blossom and honeysuckle. Flavors of crisp pear and apple are vibrant on the palate, while its balanced oak and bright acidity makes this wine a great match with broiled or grilled seafood, poultry dishes and a wide assortment of cheeses.
Review: This wine was terrible. I think the only reason they ever sell any of it is if people are ignorant or feeling generous towards breast cancer research. It smelled like mandarin oranges, flowers and sugar-chemical. It tasted like yucky pear, honey, chemical, butter... It was gross. I immediately thought of Gary's spit bucket and wanted one very badly.
