Tasting:

She said: This was part of the wine club offerings and is better than the other two, but not great or even good. The problem is the flavor, rather a zero. The aroma promised better but did not follow through. Body is medium, tannins are firm, and acidity medium as was expected. A drinkable wine that was acceptable with the dinner but certainly not memorable. Read the label and don’t believe a word of it…In their dreams!!! Not recommended.
Comments: We went to Childress for lunch with a dear friend last Friday and ordered the Signature Chardonnay at $39.99 as we usually do. Very disappointed. We always liked this and put it in the same category as Shelton Vineards Chardonnay but found it very lacking this time around.
Just a note about lunch: the chipotle chicken wrap was loaded with grease from the uncooked bacon and did nothing to help the wine.
