Tasting - Liberty Creek Chardonnay

Name: Liberty Creek 
Variety: 100% Chardonnay

Country: USA
Year: 2012
Price: $7.99

Winery review: 
'The crisp flavors of lemon and citrus make this an extremely versatile wine, especially compatible with grilled seafood, such as halibut or a tangy shrimp brochette. Another option is pasta, either with a thick cream sauce -- the lightness of Liberty Creek Chardonnay will serve as a nice contrast -- or with pesto made of freshly chopped basil' libertycreekwine.com
My Review:  This wine had a sweet, floral aroma which was very similar to its taste. The initial taste was sweet and slightly sour and made you want to scrunch up your face with a acidic finish taste. I felt the citrus fruit taste did not hide the strong alcohol taste of the wine, and did not lead to a clean crisp finish.  The floral smell translated into the taste, which I think added to the sour finish on the wine.

I did not pair this wine with food.
