Tasting - King Family Chardonnay

Name: King Family Chardonnay
Variety: 60% Chardonnay, 40% Viognier
Region: Central Virginia
Country: USA
Year: 2010
Price: $21.95


Winery Review: 
Nose exhibits pear and honeysuckle with hints of lemongrass and saffron. Mouth is fresh and full with notes of citrus, apricot and white peach. Aged in French oak. Nose of white flowers, lemon and pear. White peach, ripe pear and lemon on the mouth with touches of oak and a smooth, creamy finish.


My Review:
I think this Chardonnay was definitely sweeter and "thicker" than a regular Chardonnay due to the addition of the Viognier grape into the mix.  It was a very sweet wine with a smooth and nice mouth feel with very a definitely very flowery nose.  I don't particularly think it's worth buying for $22 however.


I tried this alone with no food.
