Hogue Chardonnay 2006 (Washington)

Producer: 
Hogue
Item name: 
Chardonnay
Wine type: 
White
Reviewer: 
Tom DiNardo

This is a terrific little Chardonnay. Not the typical oak bomb! Subtle aromas of vanilla and tropical fruit comprise the nose. The palate is dry yet well balanced, with great mouth feel. Dry, tart flavors of lemon, tropical fruit and herb contribute to a moderate finish. This wine is a perfect compliment with smoked salmon fettuccine. Enjoy.
