Tasting - 1000 Stories American Barrel-Aged Chardonnay 2021

Name:
1000 Stories American Barrel-Aged Chardonnay
Variety: 100% Chardonnay

Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2021
Price: $20

Winery Review: Americas bourbon barrel-aged wine, 1000 Stories is finished in charred barrels that once housed fine Kentucky bourbon - Americas iconic spirit. This Chardonnay brings rich notes of peach, pear and vanilla that deepen alongside smoke and caramel from an unmatched selection of barrels a boldly spirited pursuit of doing things differently.

My Review: This is a very fragrant wine. Floral notes with stone fruit fill my nose with hints of green apple and honeysuckle. The taste is more stone fruit with slight peach note appearing. It has a nice body that’s silky and has a long finish. Some spice and an oakiness is present. There’s almost a smoky quality to it that sort of lingers. Any fruit that I taste is being overpowered.
