Tasting - Darkhorse Chardonnay

The Gourmet Pantry, 2/2/13

Name:  Darkhorse Chardonnay
Variety:  100% Chardonnay
Region:  Central Valley, California
Country:  USA
Year:  2010
Price:  $8.99
Public review:  "Rich flavors of baked apple and pear, layered with toasted oak notes of caramel and brown spice with a lingering, smooth finish."   
My review:  Mild.  Aged in steel so no oakiness.  An open wine -- would pair well with lots of foods.  Ends sweetly in the mouth.
With food?:  Not during the tasting, but I had just finished a meal at Pita Vera not long beforehand.
Did buy?:  No
