Hangtime, Chardonnay, 2008


White or Red: White
Grape(s): Chardonnay
Origin: Central Coast, CA
Vintage: 2008
Price: $12.00

Overall:
Nope, Michael Jordan has nothing to do with it.  The name refers to how long the grapes hung on the vine.  In fact, they print it on every label.

Hangtime is a medium-bodied chardonnay led by an aroma of perfectly blended vanilla, green apples and pear.  Take that waft toward your palate, have it pass through some oak and your, "duh, winning".

It finishes with a creaminess but light enough where you can drink it all night.  Hangtime would be a great wine for a full-scale party, small gathering or a personal "feel bad for me" depressing moment.  It would absolutely show you know what you're doing and because of the price, you could buy a few bottles and not feel timid about opening them all.

May the weather get better soon.
