Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, July 18, 2012 - To me, at first, the nose, and the palate had way too much oak. But, by the second sip, they convinced me that, no matter the amount of oak, this wine has the stuff, and the balance to handle it. This is real Chardonnay. Great deep golden color. Refined, slightly closed nose of ginger, white flowers, pineapple, lemon and apple. Full, rich palate of more pineapple, pear, apple, and peach surrounded by some brown spice. One of those wines so balanced, you can't easily pick out the components. Handles the 13.9% alcohol easily. The oak fully integrates as it crosses the palate. Vibrant acidity that does it's job effortlessly. The finish exhibits a very finely tuned minerality that so well compliments the fruit and non fruit components.
