Tasting - Rex Goliath Chardonnay

Name: Rex Goliath Chardonnay


Variety: "Mostly Chardonnay"
Region: California
Country: United States
Year: 2013
Price: $4.99

Winery Review: Rex Goliath Chardonnay is a true sun-kissed Chardonnay with bold aromas of apple and pear, combined with the classic spices of Grandma's apple pie. Tropical fruit, pineapple and melon flavors combine with well-integrated layers of crème brûlée and a smattering of vanilla.

My Review: Blegh. From nose to finish, this wine was just gross. It smelled like cat pee, and the first sip was very similar. The midpalate was flowery, but somewhat dry, and the aftertaste just felt spoiled. The sharp cheeses and pepperoni helped this wine a bit, but not enough to keep me from pouring it out.

    Hahaha....I did a google search with key words -Rex - Goliath - Chardonnay and - Urine and your blog review of this dreadful wine came up. I completely agree, if you can get past the color which is identical to concentrated urine (human, not sure about cat? 🤔) the taste and smell are on the verge of rancid. Can’t find a date on the bottle so no damn way of telling. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Just chewed hubby out for buying this crap!
