Like sands through an hour glass. So drains the wine from my glass! Today I am tasting Kestrel Vineyards 2013 Ashan Chardonnay created by winemaker Chris Goman. Their website states that their vines are the oldest in the state. (Washington State)
Tasting Notes:
Yellow gold, very faint on the nose. Mostly rubber and citrus though as I noted, the fragrance is quite weak. It's medium bodied, dry with a heavy punch of acidity. Flavors of apricot, lemon, and a touch of grapefruit.
Final Thoughts:
I think the wine has good quality, but not exactly my tastes. It may have had to do with the wine pairng being a shrimp scampi that had a touch of lemon zest competing with it. I have another bottle. Next time I will try it without the pairing or find a more suitable pairing for it.
