Tasting-Charles Shaw Chardonnay

This wine is called Charles Shaw. This particular one is a Chardonnay with a vintage of 2010, made with the Chardonnay grape. It is from the Napa Valley in California. It's cost varies. This wine in Virginia costs $3.29, in California it is still at its original price of $1.99, and most other states other than Ohio it is $2.99, but Ohio is $3.79. You may have heard of this brand dubbed "Two Buck Chuck". I believe this is an excellent Chardonnay. It has aromas of floral hints and with a bitter essence of oak to the nose. The taste is very smooth and inviting. It has a nice body and isn't too bitter as some Chardonnays can be in my opinion. It's really a very drinkable wine that is settled well on the palate. The light oaky hints make it just perfect. For the price as well, you can not beat it. Many wine reviews on the web stated that this wine is comparable to a $200 bottle of wine. They say that Charles Shaw wines are just so drinkable and delightful, and I have to agree. This is a very good Chardonnay. Cheers!!
