Community Tasting Note

  • Dave Dalluge wrote: 93 points

    August 29, 2008 - Bordeaux at Siggy's: The color is a vibrant yellow. The nose is ostensibly a straightforward melange of tropical flavors (citrus, pineapple) but upon further reflection there is a decent secondary layer of aromas including oak, smoke and minerality. Exotic but interesting. On the palate this is packed with flavor. My first thought was grapefruit but here again more traditional flavors emerge as secondary notes. Good structure to balance out the fruit. Great finish. I'd be hard pressed to pick this as chardonnay in a blind tasting, but it was an extremely satisfying wine.
