Rodney Strong Sonoma County 2010 Chardonnay is from Sonoma County, California. A nose was not detectable in the plastic tasting cup. The flavor was spice and vanilla with a hint of oak. Medium acidity. This met with mixed reviews from customers. Not one of my favorites.Winemaker's Notes: We barrel fermented about 60% of this wine (aged 5 months in oak, American and French, 60% malolactic fermentation), and sur-lies aged that portion in barrel for five months, offering the wine a touch of brown spice and vanilla. The remaining 40% was cold fermented to capture a fresh fruit-forward character, providing bright lemon and apple aromas that mingle with hints of the toasty barrel complexity. On the palate, pear and green apple with refreshing acidity will lure you back for another sip. Enjoy this lively chardonnay now and over the next couple of years.
