lynmar chardonnay

Lynmar Chardonnay Russian River 2004

Color: Unripe banana skin
Nose: Pear and apple abound
Taste: Balanced light acidity with a little bit of alcohol on the back of the palate. Still, silky smooth from front to back. Enjoyable, quaffable. We had to drink this one as soon as we returned from our road trip from Colorado. I let it get too hot in the trunk driving through th esouthern states and it overheated, causing the corked to be pushed up (a tell-tale sign). That may have accounted for the bit of alcohol bite. But still, this was quite drinkable since we opened it within days of the problem. This way I avoided more significant deteriation of the wine. It wasn't as good as it tasted originally at the Lynmar winery, which is too bad since this is the good Chardonnay they make.
