CAVE SPRING |
Bright very light yellow colour. Attractive, intense, fairly cedary, slightly spicy, honeyed, ripe apple-lemon nose. Dry, medium bodied, harmonious, slightly spicy, mineral-tinged, rather cedary finish. Has 13% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. Screwcap closure. Great value. A repeat of the recommended 2013 (**+) released on December 12, 2015 at $18.95. TONY ASPLER / 89-points / BEST BUY This wines has improved with bottle age into a serious Chardonnay. Apple and citrus on the nose with barnyard notes; medium-bodied, dry and elegant with good length. |

TASTING NOTE: This is a tender yet ripe and quite elegant chardonnay. Lighter and fresher than many but has some textural weight and creaminess at the same time. Expect vanilla/butterscotch, poached pear, vaguely lemony and nutty aromas and flavours. Nicely focused, with very good to excellent length. Score - 89 (David Lawrason, winealign.com, Nov. 2015) |
