Wine Review: If you like a noticeably oaked influenced Chardonnay, look not further. This wine is for you. It is light yellow colored and opens with the previously mentioned oak influenced baked apple bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium to full bodied, very nicely balanced, and rich. The flavor profile continues to be oak influenced with light lemon custard flavors as well. The finish is dry and its mild fine oak tannins linger nicely. This rich Chard would be a perfect match for lobster bisque. Enjoy - Ken

Winemaker Notes: The 2007 Fogdog Chardonnay offers rich aromas of lemon custard, peach pit and wet rocks followed by rich and creamy flavors of lemon meringue pie and herbal tea. The long hang time allowed for great development of fruit esters, while the smaller berries and long, cool barrel fermentation contribute to the weightiness of this wine.
