Rodney Strong Chardonnay Sonoma 2011

750ML

Sku: 100094

The 2007 vintage started off with a very dry spring, which tended to make for smaller clusters, smaller berries, and less canopy overall. Bright lemon and apple aromas mingle with hints of toasty barrel complexity, and on the palate, pear and pineapple with spice and refreshing acidity will have you coming back for another glass. Enjoy this lively chardonnay now and over the next couple of years.

Aromas of toasted oak and apple give way to a creamy, unctuous mouthfeel. Flavors of yellow apple and butter dominate, brightened by a racy citrus edge.
Wine Enthusiast 88 points
Made from three prime growing regions, Russian River, Chalk Hill and Sonoma Coast, this Chard offers lots of complexity at a good price. It’s a forthright wine, rich in peach pie flavors, including the smoky, buttery pie crust, and is entirely dry. Amazingly good when you consider the massive production: 185,000 cases. Score: 88. —Steve Heimoff, April 01, 2007.

Review:
this is an good every day wine for those who enjoy an oaky, vanilla finish to a Sonoma Chardonnay. It's not as good as their Chalk Hill Chardonnay, but for the price, it's excellent value.
