Tasting: Simply Naked Chardonnay


Name: Simply Naked Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: California
Country: USA
Year: 2012
Price: $8.99

Winery Review: “Simply Naked wines reveal themselves as they really are, without being hidden by the flavor of oak. Our winemaker has chosen not to oak age the wines, allowing the crisp fruit flavor and the true varietal characteristics to shine through. Simply Naked Chardonnay is a rich, fruit forward wine with crisp apple, melon, and pear flavors and a touch of honey.”


Personal Review: I was interested in comparing an un-oaked chardonnay with an oaked chardonnay. This wine was not very aromatic which surprised me. I expected to be able to smell a lot of the fruit in it. It tasted a lot like apples and pears, which was delicious! It also had a slight bubbliness to it. It seemed as though it had been carbonated just a little bit. I drank this wine with an herb roasted pork tenderloin and they were delicious together! I would definitely recommend this wine to those who don’t like the flavor of oak in wines.
