PRIVATE RESERVE CHARDONNAY 2015 Napa Valley |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
BERINGER |
Forward very bright light yellow colour. Intense, lemon meringue nose with lots of toasty notes. Fairly dry, medium-full bodied, well structured, intense, bright key lime pie flavours with a lingering, fairly high acid, very cedary, somewhat tropical, pineapple-coconut finish. NA tad over-the-top and too oaky for me. Has 14.9% alcohol and now only 6 g/L residual sugar. A REPEAT of the 2015 (***) that was last released on August 5, 2017 at only $47.95. TONY ASPLER / 90-points - Yellow straw in colour; exuberant spicy, toasty, vanilla oak and tropical fruit notes on the nose; full-bodied, intense, spicy pineapple and mango flavour with a long, nutty clove and cinnamon finish. A big, mouth-filling wine. |

TASTING NOTE: A dense and beautiful chardonnay with the focus and presence you expect in a top white from Napa. Full body, yet polished and formed with beautiful ripe fruit, lemon and mineral character. Hints of mineral, toasted oak and caramel. Drink or age. One for the cellar. Score - 96 (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, March 20, 2017) |
