Tasting: Decoy Chardonnay

Name: Decoy Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Sonoma County, California
Country: United States
Year: 2013
Price: $16.95 on sale from $28
Shop review: "Enticing citrus zest, orange blossom and guava aromas with hints of banana cream pie and spicy oak.  The palate is soft and velvety offering vibrant citrus flavors intermingled with rich tropical fruit.  Excellent acidity adds length and brightness to a satisfying finish." - Vintage Cellar, 2014
My review: Decoy Chardonnay poured a clear to pale yellow in the glass.  The nose brought scents of apple pie crust - definitely very buttery.  The palate was surprisingly tropical and citrusy, which was completely unexpected based on the notes I detected upon smelling the wine. Overall, I enjoyed this Chardonnay.
Food: I did not pair this wine with food.
