Simply Naked Chardonnay, Flip Flop Chardonnay and Flip Flop Pinot Noir

Saturday's tasting was on three wines.  All were from California; affordable and good value for everyday tables wines.  Customers did enjoy these.  These are not complex wines so the reviews are short and to the point. 

Simply Naked 2010 Chardonnay ($8.79) stainless steel fermented the flavor was crisp green apple. 

Winemaker's Notes:  This Simply Naked Chardonnay is fresh and vibrant with tropical fruit, citrus, and pear notes. It is light-medium bodied with layers of melon, fig, and a touch of honey. 


 
Flip Flop 2009 Chardonnay ($4.49) - Although the aroma was masked by the plastic tasting cup, the flavor was pineapple and vanilla with a hint of creaminess.  Unfortunately the flavors were fleeting as there was an overpowering and lingering tart finish. 

Winemaker's Notes:  Medium-bodied, Chardonnay with pineapple, soft vanilla and long lingering finish.  It is full of creamy, toasted oak notes. 

Flip Flop 2010 Pinot Noir ($4.49) a very pronounced berry aroma.  Flavor was cherry and finished with spice.  

Winemaker's Notes:  It is full of Cola aromas and hints of  vanilla.  Medium-bodied, structured Pinot Noir with bright cherry, sweet spice and supple, velvety finish.  Eat with grilled mahi mahi and bacon wrapped shrimp.
