Community Tasting Notes 27

  October 25, 2009 - Deep golden colour, looking aged. Nose of ripe banana, apple, canned pineapple and butterscotch. Full bodied, rich in depth of flavour, mineral and just a tad too sharp. Finishes slightly short. Drink up.

  December 26, 2008 - shared with pat and ellen during the holiday season. this was my introduction to chardonnay from argentina. Clear, light golden color. nose shows good chard character with green apple notes as well as some butterscotch and oak. Medium bodied, good balance and integration. very enjoyable and good value. would have to pay 20% more for equal quality from california. this wine has established a new category for me to explore.

  September 28, 2008 - Liked this Chardonnay, balanced fruit/oak/mineral/acid; would've liked just a bit more body, but understandable the way it is from the high altitude vineyards. Will recommend

  July 23, 2008 - This wine has a very nice balance to it and even a balance between old and new world styles. Nose - a little tropical fruit with granny smith sharpness. The flavors follow with decent and restrained fruit, smart and smooth acidity. Actually a very giving and food friendly chardonnay.
