Sunday, February 12, 2017 - NOT YOUR TYPICAL CHARDONNAY
Wow, nose of apple blossom and grapefruit.
Super long in the tasting, this is Granny Smith apples and pomelo's (big Chinese dryish grapefruit) and not cloying or fat in the slightest. I didn't even get a hint of oak (sometimes a Chardonnay can clobber your tastebuds with oak and fat fruitiness, but this was a delight).
Superb with my dungeness crab, broccolini, baked sweet potato with butter, avocado and romaine salad. Yeah, okay, an unconventional menu but it was perfected by that Carneros Chardonnay.
Probably too fruity for more delicate seafood, but with the crab it was marvelous.
Very very unusual. A delight. Buying more.
