Gallo Family Vineyards Chardonnay

Name: Gallo Family Vineyards Chardonnay
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2011
Price: $9

Winery Review: Fresh flavors of apple, pineapple, and mango with a hint of roasted oak and brown spice.

My Review: I tried this with my roomie while we looked at a wine flavor identifying wheel, and noticed that some people describe wine as having a 'burnt toast' or 'moldy' taste. After laughing at that, we poured this and both realized that this smelled like straight mold, and neither of us wanted to try it after that. We did however, and both hated it. This was the least favorite of the bottles of wines we tried. It didn't really have much of a taste that we could identify. There was a higher heat than expected, and had terroir/earthy tones. I'm definitely not a fan of chardonnay after this. I did not try this with any food, although it was chilled which might have effected the taste.
