Toasted Head Chardonnay 2013, California, United States: Lots of campfire smoke and toasty oak on the nose with more on the palate and finish from oak aging. The barrels are toasted: not just the staves on the sides but also the ends or heads, thus the wine's name. Full-bodied with some apple on the palate, but mostly wood. Pair with smoked meats.
