Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
J. LOHR |
Forward bright medium deep yellow colour. Quite attractive, spicy, honeyed, gently cedary, warm lemon meringue nose with some toasty lychee-tinged notes. Fairly dry, medium-full bodied, spicy, honeyed, tangy, ripe lemon meringue flavours with a lingering, cedary, crisp, fairly high acid finish. This Chardonnay Clone 809 (aka Chardonnay Musqué) based white has 14.9% alcohol and now 5 g/L residual sugar. A THIRD REPEAT of the 2015 (**+) that was last released on September 16, 2017 at $34.95. TONY ASPLER / 88.5-points - Spicy-clovey nose of apples with a floral note; full-bodied, dry, toasty, apple with a note of orange blossom (Muscat-like). Old style California Chardonnay with great length. |

TASTING NOTE: Rich honeysuckle, marzipan and oak aromas meet bright lemon grass on the nose of this bottling, showing both the fresh and oxidative sides of the grape. Smoked chicken and brioche notes are prominent on the palate, leading to a tangy, botanical, juniper-laced finish. Score - 90 (Matt Kettman, Wine Enthusiast, May 1, 2017) |
