TASTING NOTE: This is a quite ripe, rich and smooth chardonnay from this warmer vintage. The barrel spice and vanilla is plainly evident yet harmonized amid warmed pear/apple fruit. It's medium weight, quite elegant and warming yet carries firm acidity and a touch of minerality. The length is very good to excellent. Score - 89 (David Lawrason, winealign.com, Jan. 16, 2017) |
