Tasting - Blue Ash Road Chardonnay

Parker Estate Chardonnay
Name: Blue Ash Road
Variety: Chardonnay
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2014
Price: $9.99

Wine Review: "Lemon and green apple up front. Then transitions to weird sour/metallic taste on the finish reminiscent of sucking in the white pith of a lemon. Minimal vanilla/oak. Not the worst $10 bottle. But have had better $10 bottles. " 2.5 Stars (Craig Szafranski; Vivino)

My Review: This was a pretty average wine.  It smelled of vanilla and pear.  It had a smooth crisp appley peary taste.  It's after taste had a slight acidity to it.  I had this wine with my left overs from lunch.  With the potato hash, the wine was sweeter and there was no acidity.  It wasn't great.  With the BBQ grouper taco, the acid in the wine matched with the fish/spiciness and there was less apple taste and more pear.  It wasn't a bad pairing with the taco, but it also wasn't my favorite.
Lunch left overs
