River Road 2013 Un-Oaked Chardonnay (Sonoma County)

Country: US / Un-Oaked
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: River Road / Sonoma County

Another attempt at a low-impact Chardonnay unfettered by oak, this result is curiously confectionary and sweet. Apple flavors veer into candy territory and the wine is slightly fat instead of crisp, despite the low alcohol and stainless-steel fermentation.
