Tasting - Clos du Bois 2012 Chardonnay

Name: 2012 Clos du Bois Chardonnay North Coast
Region: California
Country: USA
Vintage: 2012
Price: $12
ABV: 13.5%

Winemaker's Notes: This wine has a brilliant silver straw yellow hue. Intense aromas of apple blossom, ripe pear, and sweet lemon drop are complimented by toasty oak, spice and cream. The silky texture of the wine is overlaid with bright and juicy flavors of rich ripe apple and pear finishing in a long fresh aftertaste.

My Notes: The nose was sweet with apple being the overwhelming component. The taste was sweet apple with hints of other tree-fruits such as pears. Full bodied with the finish being strongly oaked and buttery. I give it a 3.5/5.
