Wine Shop Review: "Red - Bold and Structured" -WineSearcher.com

Wine Folly: pg 88 "World's most popular wine... rich flavor and high tannin content"

My Review:

Tasting - 'Provisions Chardonnay'

Name: Provisions Chardonnay Variety: Chardonnay Country: Chile Region: Central Valley Vintage: Unknown Cost: $5 My Review: - Color: pale yellow - Smell: fruity, some sort of berry  - Taste:  a bit sour with a woody aftertaste, a little smokey even - Overall: Decent, could drink again, but probably won't.

Being young, it still has strong tannins despite a relatively light body, with olallieberry and dried violet flavors proving interestingly Rhône-like in style." - Drizly.com Wine Folly: pg 215 "The cooler coastal areas is where you'll find the best chardonnay.
