Community Tasting Note

Andrew Christiansen Likes this wine:

Friday, January 22, 2016 - This was my only bottle since, and I wanted to give it a try. Wife and I were excited to have 45 minutes sans child to hit the new Vietnamese restaurant in otherwise culinary-challenged Ladera Ranch. For me, red wine and spicyi asian food = no bueno, so I typically turn to acidic or slightly sweet Chenin Blanc, Chardonnay or Riesling. The restaurant was decent, but the DuPratt killed. Spine-tingling acidity balanced with a dense core of tangy lime/lemon fruit provided a striking level of tension. Provides a different but similarly transparent experience compared to Copain's other Chardonnays from Chalone and Monterey. Less savory and saline, more wild and sexy. Good for my palate, bad for my budget, since I have no choice but to make room for this bottle in my regular purchase, just when I had planned to try to squeeze in some syrah after an involuntary hiatus. I'm so glad Wells decided to make Chardonnay!
