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.

Wine Shop Review: "lively boysenberry, crushed lilacs, black pepper, and cola on the nose. 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. The most popular style is buttery from oak aging and comes from Casablanca and san antonio valleys. the outer regions of limari and Aconcagua offer the most minerality and are uniquely salty."
