Tasting: Dreaming Tree Chardonnay

Name: Dreaming Tree Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: Central Coast, California
Country: US
Year: 2017
Price: $16

Winery Review: In the glass, this Chardonnay emits hues of early fall hay barrel.  Crisp light yellow straw with a subtle mustard hint.  On the nose we get crisp pear and green apple aromas with lightly toasted… toast.  Overall a medium bodied wine. the opening palate of the Dreaming Tree Chardonnay is inviting, refreshing, crisp and melon-forward.  Lemon-peel, more pear and white Asian spice creep around the taste buds.  Mid-palate, a subtle smokiness shows a bit more of itself with some playful notes of thyme and spring flowers.  Towards the finish, the wine rises in brightness and we get some very refreshing acid over a medium finish of lemon-spice and grapefruit. - Grieg 4/5 

My Review: This is Dave Matthews of the Dave Matthews Band wine, so that's fun. This wine is very crisp and fruity, but it doesn't hit you in the face with sweetness. It's very intense, and I get hints of citrus but mostly tree fruits like peach and apple. It's not too light for a white and has some body, and I wish I got more of an oaky flavor but didn't quite get there. Would try again, perhaps a different vintage,
