Trione 2008 River Road Ranch Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / River Road Ranch
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Trione / Russian River Valley

Made with superripe fruit and scads of oak, this Chardonnay tastes like pineapple jam squeezed onto buttered popcorn. Somebody will like it, and it’s okay in its own way, but it exemplifies the worst of the New World, oaky style.
