1/11/2010 - gripNsip wrote: 87 pointsFresh cut lawn, green melons, light lemon citrus and stainless steel show on the nose. Nice weighted palate, some salty green melons show, some other green fruits, granny smith apples possibly, ends slightly grassy and salty. Doesn't stick around long on the finish, it leaves some of that grassiness for a bit. Kinda wishing there was more acidity on this, there is enough but the flavor overpowers it in places. A tasty wine for sure, not something I will reach for again but an interesting style. |

Stumbled upon a bottle in the racks and thought it was time for another go. This has turned a corner and the rough edges have smoothed out nicely. Good acid and great weight. Not changing my life, but good. |

8/18/2013 - f22nickell wrote: 87 pointsThe wine is pretty good. Nice nose of cherry fruit, lots of herbs and savory complexity. Medium to full bodied on the palate, reasonably well balanced with nice acidity to balance the sweeter fruit, again savory herbs, hint of green, slightly sour cherry edge, perhaps a bit on the sappy side for the finish. Overall an interesting wine, but one I would probably be mostly likely to serve to my "less sophisticated" guest. Lots of fruit - it just doesn't seem to come together for any great flavor. |

10/19/2013 - boogie96 Likes this wine: 90 pointsA complex wine, much more than I'm used to in a Chardonnay. I shouldn't have been surprised, though, Efeste is one of my favorite wineries, everything they produce jumps to the top of my lists. Has a nice light gold color. It smells like Granny Smith apples, with hints of grass, and some mint. Lots of fruits like lemon and pear; plus some mineral, honeysuckle, and a touch of oak. |

6/18/2013 - tomlee wrote: 90 pointsAmber in color and throwing just a touch of sediment. 13.4% ABV. The nose is all about slate, flowers and key lime. Pineapple, butterscotch and lemon on the palate. Clearly new world with a dose of butter and oak. What sets this wine apart from many Washington Chardonnays is the great acidity. Drink over the next year or so. $28 at the winery. |

8/13/2015 - ibglowin Likes this wine: 91 pointsAmazing bottle of wine from a tough year. Loads of zing on the palette followed by notes of apple, pear, melon and citrus. Crisp finish to say the least. Could drink this all Summer long. It was made by Brennan Leighton so I should not be surprised. Excellent from first sip to last. |
