Did a back-to-back tasting of two bottom shelf chardonnays because the wallet is getting thin at this point in the semester. This is Blog 2 of 2 on cheap chardonnay.
Wine: Liberty Creek Chardonnay
Year: not listed
Location: California
Cost: $5.99 (3-glass box)
Color: very pale yellow. almost colorless
Smell: lighter odor than the Sutter Home, much like the color. Green apple was the only specific odor I could pull out
Taste: apricot faintly, overall even lighter flavor than Sutter Home. It's a more polite wine, insofar that it probably knows it doesn't have much to show off, and opts to be light and refreshing instead.
General Notes: If Sutter Home was the Coors Light of Chardonnay, this is certainly the Miller Light - more refreshing, lighter, less boldly sub-par.
Wine folly says the typical primary flavors are apple, star fruit (who the heck knows what star fruit tastes like), pineapple, vanilla, and butter.
