Tasting: Zaca Mesa Chardonnay


Name: Zaca Mesa Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay 
Region: Zanta Ynez Valley, California
Country: United States
Year: 2011
Price: $16.95
Shop review: "Stainless steel (60%) and mostly used French oak (40%), with no malolactic fermentation.  The result is juicy, ripe fruit-driven wine, with tropical citrus, mango, and peachy aromas and flavors, and with accents of vanilla and toast.  It is fresh and full in the mouth, with intense fruit flavors, and a quenching finish." -Vintage Cellar, 2014 (Dan with Robbins Cellars)
My review: Zaca Mesa Chardonnay poured a white color with aromas of apple, pears, and mango that filled the nose.  The wine was fresh on the palate with strong fruit notes and a crisp finish. 
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
