[CheapWineRatings.com] Motos Liberty Chardonnay | CheapWineRatings.com: This has a very light color for a Chardonnay.  The nose is crisp and fresh smelling with apple, pear, lemon and a slight mineral.  The palate starts with a crisp apple flavor and moves into a melon and citrus thing.  It’s a little bit sweet on the finish.  It could use a little more intensity in the aromas and concentration in the flavors, but overall this is a very fresh and refreshing Chardonnay.

[Ken's Wine Guide Blog Including Wine Ratings, Wine Reviews, Red Wines, White Wines, Champagne, & Wine Gifts] The World of Chardonnay is Changing : Ken's Wine Guide Blog ...: Chardonnay is the most popular white wine in America.  But the world of Chardonnay is changing.  I personally didn’t think a change was needed, but like most success stories, the general philosophy appears to be a change or die message.  What is the change taking place in the Chardonnay world?  The change is in style.  The traditional California oaked and malolactic fermentation Chardonnay style is being challenged by a new unoaked and fruit-forward movement.  We found this to be especially true at the lower price points.  We have seen this stylistic change take place in the many Chardonnays that we have tried over the last 2 years.  I still think that Pinot Noir has the greatest number of styles for wine lovers to try but  I am now certain that Chardonnay will continue to present many different options in the near term as well.  Below is what we found in our recent Chardonnay tastings.  I will also follow up this post with another summary post of some of my favorite Chard discoveries from my recent trip to California.

[Arniston Bay Wines] What you should know about Chardonnay: Served at a cool 9-10 °C, Chardonnay features quite a separate range of impressive flavours, from its expected buttered, oak overtones to fresh, fruity flavours of apple, pear, citrus and melon.
