Even though I’m a confessed lover of oaky Chardonnay, I’ll agree that there’s an awful lot of terrible stuff out there, simple wines that taste oak-like even though they may never actually have seen the inside of a proper oak barrel.

[A Good Time With Wine] Tasting @Krutzcellars Sleepy Hollow 08 Chardonnay #tl_wine ...: This wine is golden in color, and definitely the darkest of the three chardonnay wines I taste tonight. The nose is a bit bit less vibrant and complex than the previous Chardonnay we tasted.

[The Amateur Wino] The unexpected from the Jura: chardonnay - The Amateur Wino: The chardonnays from the Jura that I have tasted range from nervy and tension-filled to richer, more opulent styles, but across the range of styles many of the wines showed a flinty minerality on the nose that lend a lot of fragrant, burgundy-like interest to the wines.  Next time you’re looking to have a Chassagne-Montrachet or a Meursault, try a chardonnay from the Jura instead – you might be surprised by what you taste.  Here are a few wines I’d recommend:

[Blog.napacabs.com] Free Wine Storage & New Arrivals | Blog.napacabs.com: The 2008 Unfiltered Chardonnay has an inviting straw hue. This wine opens with a bright nose of fresh fruit and floral aromas of honey blossom that lead to earthy bread dough and hazelnut.

[The Blog Wine Cellar] The Blog Wine Cellar: 2007 Maldonado Chardonnay Los Olivos Vineyard: This is really amazing wine and while I rate the "Parr Vineyard" even higher than this particular Chardonnay, this wine is certainly nothing to scoff at. 93+ Points

[A Good Time With Wine] Tasting @RSVineyards Chalk Hill 2009 Chardonnay #TL_wine ...: There seems to be a light oak treatment, when in fact it's 86% oak, a mix of new and older. There is also good acidity that brings in green apple notes, and for $20, it's definitely worth the price.

[The Blog Wine Cellar] The Blog Wine Cellar: 2007 Rochioli Estate Chardonnay: This golden colored Chardonnay has a beautiful and elegant bouquet with aromas of baked apple, acacia flowers, wet stone, french vanilla, and spice.
