Tasting - Foxhollow Chardonnay

Name: Foxhollow
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: California
Country:  USA
Year: 2012

Shop/wine critic/winery review 

This Chardonnay’s aromas of tropical pineapple, crisp green apple and citrus are supported by underlying nuances of vanilla. The finish is smooth and creamy yet balanced with enough acidity to accentuate the vibrant fruit flavors with a hint of orange blossoms.  
Your Review: 
I don't typically love Chardonnay.  It seems plain and "safe." I really appreciated the fruit flavors in this Chardonnay, and consider it one of the better ones I've had.  Green apple was definitely noted.  I really didn't taste the vanilla, but it did have a creamy flavor.  I'm slowly learning/getting better.  
I did not try this with food.
