Element Winery, Chardonnay 2011, Finger Lakes, New York
Tasting Note: A chardonnay that is not for everyone; wine geeks gather round.
If you tasted this wine blind, you might not guess it is a chardonnay at all because it tastes like something entirely different, and yes – this turns out to be entirely good in this case.
This golden-colored chardonnay has an unusual sour nose of canned white peaches, under-ripe nectarine, red and green apple and dried mango.
