| TASTING NOTE: Winemaker Nikki Callaway continues to play with her chardonnay, tweaking the Stewart Family Reserve to highlight its ample styling and leaving it closer to the popular New World California style. Another warm year means you feel the warmth underneath the ripe baked apple, sweet melon flavours, flecked with buttery fruit, butterscotch and spice. The opulence, intensified by the vintage, gives fans of the rich chardonnay style (albeit a modern styled one) a wine they will love. Rich sweet seafood like lobster or crab, or creamy seafood pasta dishes come to mind as a perfect match. It's mostly the French chardonnay clone 95, planted 20 years ago and thriving on Mount Boucherie Bench. Drink through 2020. Score - 90 (Anthony Gismondi, gismondionwine.com, Oct. 17, 2016) |
