If you’re somehow managed to find this page, you’re probably looking for this wine!  Boordy Vineyards Chesapeake Icons Seyval-Chardonnay-Vidal Blanc has one of the longest, must difficult names to figure out on a wine I’ve seen.  That aside, it prominently features a rockfish, and hails from Maryland.  Not being known for it’s wines, is Maryland’s Boordy Vineyards Chesapeake Icons Seyval-Chardonnay-Vidal Blanc 2014 a good representative?

Sight:  A light to moderate yellow-gold.

Smell:  Bananas, lemons, and unripe pineapple all feature prominently.  Touches of green pears and honeydew round things out.  The smell is somehow clean, like after a fresh rain.

Sip:  The body is rather flabby, and pulls in pineapple, oil, and floral notes.   Some nutty notes get into play, and a creaminess exists to the body.  Hints of bitterness and herbs creep in.

Savor:   The ending is full of stone and perfumed cleaners, giving a bitter nature that is somewhat coating.

Ridiculously, longly named wine, a.k.a. Boordy Vineyards Chesapeake Icons Seyval-Chardonnay-Vidal Blanc, is all over the board.  There are tropical fruit flavors running headlong into wet stone, and the flabby consistency makes things a little weird.  The imbalance lets a lot of the stone drive toward imperfection, and makes it seem somewhat like cleaner.  While there might be good wine in the central atlantic, Boordy Vineyards Chesapeake Icons Seyval-Chardonnay-Vidal Blanc probably isn’t it.

Verdict:  Flabby, Cleaner, Pineapple, Oily
