TASTING NOTE: A blend of different vineyards, the 2017 Catena Chardonnay fermented and aged in stainless steel and oak barrels with the lees (60% of the wine) for around ten months. It's a shy white, approachable and clean, with integrated acidity and focused flavors. This range is very drinkable and faithful to the variety. Drink Date: 2018-2021. Score - 91 (Luis Gutiérrez, robertparker.com, June 29, 2018) |
