Wine Reviewed Evans & Tate Chardonnay 2005 14.5% alcohol about $17

Let’s start by quoting the marketing materials. Description : Real Steal. A classic Margaret River Chardonnay that is rich in stone fruit, pineapple and melon characteristics and enhanced by delicate oak treatment. It has a long sustained finish that lasts and lasts. Excellent wine, incredible value. And now for my review.

At the first sips this wine was slightly sweet and lemony but there was enough oak to make me start to worry. The initial meal was a commercial chicken pot pie that intensified the oak which took over during the meal. The lemon did try to fight back. When I added Louisiana cayenne pepper sauce the wine’s acidity perked up and caramel tried to break through the oak.
