2008 Ruffino Libaio Chardonnay


This is another Ruffino product, also given to me by my friend Michael. Given last nights tasting of the Sauvignon Collio I was a little hesitant even though this producer makes very quality product. This is a chardonnay from Tuscany and is unoaked.

The color of the wine was between light straw and golden yellow. The aromas were red apples, flowers and vanilla.

The taste was red apples, light citrus and honey. The wine had good acidity and a nice finish. This was not overly complex, but I thought it was a solid effort for the $13-14 price point.

I think this would be great to start a meal or with light fish.
