Radius Chardonnay


Name: Radius Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Washington
Country: United States
Year: N/A
Price: $8.99

Winery review: Welcoming toasted oak notes swirl around dried apricot, apple cobbler, and baking spice aromas. A rich palate filled with intense fruit and honey. Lingering residual sugar is balanced by acidity for a clean finish.

My review: This Chardonnay was very different from others I’ve tasted before. It smelled dry but fruity at the same time, which is unusual. I did not taste oak at all in it. The taste was dry and a bit fruity but not buttery. I thought the taste was odd, like the flavors didn’t belong together. And when I tasted the fruit it didn’t taste like good fruit more like rotten fruit. I’d rather stick to the usual Chardonnays than to drink an unbalanced one like this one. I did not pair this wine with food.
