Tasting - Game of Thrones Chardonnay

Name: Game of Thrones Chardonnay
Variety: 90% Chardonnay and 10% Riesling
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2016
Price: $20

Winery Review: Enticing aromas of stone fruit and white blossoms lead to a rich, creamy palate of peaches, apricots, tangerine, Meyer lemon, baking spices and honey, balanced by mouth-watering acidity. A touch of oak on the lingering finish.


My Review:
I was very excited to try this a couple reasons. One it being Game of Thrones brand and two I’m always looking for a Chardonnay to change my opinion of it. It succeeded on both counts. The nose was floral with hints of grass and honeysuckle and a slight citrus note. The taste was slightly fruity with hints of peach and pear. It was subtle but intriguing all the same. It was light on the palate with a long finish. Quite delicious!
