The Dreaming Tree Chardonnay 2010 Central Coast

In the glass the wine is bright medium intensity of 14K gold that is consistent to a narrow water white rim.  There seems to be hint of shimmering greenish highlights.  On the nose there is a pronounced intensity of baked apple, tangerine, apple cobbler dessert and hints of caramel and spiciness.  On the palate the wine is dry, medium to full-bodied with mouth-watering acidity.  The flavors are layered with peach, tangerine and baked apple - all of a light to medium intensity.  (Almost a fruit salad).  The finish is clean with a medium length of lingering a melange of flavor similar to the nose.

Wine & Food:  Serve chilled between 45F and 50F.  This is not a wine for light dishes nor for dishes with sharp ingredients such as asparagus, broccoli, capers, olives, leeks or tomato.  Best for dishes served with a rich cream or butter sauce or roasted chicken or turkey.  It is possible that with lobster, shrimp and scallops might work as solo dishes and certainly when accompanied with a butter sauce.

Approximate Retail Price: US$20.00
