Tasting- Carroll Vineyards Chardonnay


Name: Carroll Vineyards Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Virginia (Loudoun County)
Country: USA
Year: 2012
Price: $21
Wine Critic Review: This is an unbaked Chardonnay that has been aged in all stainless steel barrels.  It has notes of Asian pear and citrus hints.  This is a very smooth wine with a crisp finish.
My Review:  I really enjoyed this Chardonnay.  It was very light and crisp and more dry than it was sweet.  This wine reminded me a lot of Pinot Grigio, which is one of my favorite varietals.  I drank this wine with a spinach salad.  The vegetables made the wine taste more tangy and acidic.  This wine was a little pricy for me but I would probably buy it again.
