Very rich chardonnay.Full body, beautiful colour. The way chardonnay should be. It is an easy version for any consumer to understand the chardonnay and I always recommend it for people who don't know this type of wine. It has a nice amount of oak, richness, good flavours or butterscotch, vanilla, fruity notes. And good long finish. Terrific wine for the price.

A well-structured Chardonnay with a bountiful bouquet of lemon, butter and toast. Full-bodied and smooth, with a long finish. Pairs well with smoked chicken, pork tenderloin or sipping by the fire on a cold winter's night!

No apologies for this full-on California chardonnay. Beautiful, brilliant golden yellow. Medium body. Luscious and ripe tropical fruit, vanilla, toast with butter, peach, citrus and blossoms. I get all of this on the nose and the palate.
I prefer medium body chardonnay like Toasted Head a little less chilled. I feel the nuances in the wine come a little more to life. Enjoyed with double cream brie but I've also enjoyed with Coconut Cream pie. Decadent!

Toasted Head is named for the toasting of barrel heads that makes a wine taste...um...toasted. The fire-breathing bear on label was inspired by the William Carpenter poem Speaking Fire At Stones in which "Every one of these stones contains a bear. You just have to burn it free." The owners of Toasted Head winery have a gift for metaphor and read poetry--the Drink Wine and Giggle Gals are impressed. If it were a poem, Toasted Head Chardonnay would be a decent love sonnet that butters you up, but not too much. We'll definitely follow Darlene Myers' advice and sample the poetry of Toasted Head Cabernet Sauvignon.

I used to be an all Red wine drinker, until I tried this wine and one other. This was how I discovered how wonderful white wines can be as well. Anyone who knows me, know I rave about the Toasted Head Cabernet Sauvignon, and I enjoy it on a regular basis. This is another Toasted Head that I can't stop raving about. Smooth like butter is what comes to mind. Smooth and with tastes of vanilla and the toasty oak that this brand is known for. I think it adds scrumptious flavour when a vineyard toasts the barrel staves to impart that mellow toasty flavour.
Natalie's Review
Toasted Head Chardonnay 2011, California, United States: A lusciously rich and full-bodied white with enticing aromas of butterscotch, peach and pear. Generously oaked, but it's in balance and creates a terrific voluptuous mouth-feel. Perfect for roast chicken or corn on the cob. Drink: 2012-2014. 594341 13.50% D 750 mL $19.95 Score: 88/100.
