Critique Review: California - Woodbridge Chardonnay White Wine offers vibrant fruit flavors enhanced by vanilla and oak notes. Crisp yet silky, this large bottle of wine pairs easily with appetizers or entrees.
Reference Flavors: ripe apple, baked pear, pineapple, peach, vanilla, butter, caramel, toasted oak, nutmeg
My Review: Woodbridge Chardonnay visually pours a warm golden hue with slight translucence. On the nose, I get ripe apple and pear, along with hints of vanilla and toasted oak. There’s a subtle buttery note, but nothing too pronounced.
The first sip is smooth, featuring baked apple and pineapple with a touch of caramel. The acidity is mild, making it easy to drink but not particularly lively. It’s balanced but doesn’t stand out in any one category.
Paired with Piave cheese, the wine’s creamy texture complements the cheese’s nuttiness, while the acidity helps balance its richness. Woodbridge Chardonnay is a solid value pick—pleasant and easygoing, but not especially complex or memorable. It does the job, especially for an affordable pairing.
