CALCAIRE CHARDONNAY 2014 Russian River Valley, Sonoma County
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note Producer CLOS DU BOIS
Bright light yellow colour. Fairly intense, slightly spicy, very cedary, ripe lemon-melon puree nose. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, spicy, expansive, ripe lemon meringue flavours with a lingering, mineral-tinged, very cedary finish. Has 14.2% alcohol and 2 g/L residual sugar. Not up to the recommended much less oaky 2013 (**+) with 89-points released on April 2, 2016 at $29.95. TONY ASPLER / 88.5-points - Toasty, smoky, barnyard caramel nose with spicy vanilla oak notes; full-bodied, oak-driven flavours of lemon, apple and pear with spicy vanilla oak. A pass at the price.
