Community Tasting Note

Eric Guido Likes this wine:

Wednesday, June 15, 2022 - Somehow Sashi Moorman and Rajat Parr seem to have sprinkled a little Coche Dury magic into the nose of the 2015 Bentrock Chardonnay, and some Schäfer Fröhlich onto its palate. The bouquet reminds me of fireworks on the fourth of July, something like a mix of struck match, flinty stone, curry leaf and smoke, yet at the center a vivid note of freshly sliced, ripe pear. This soothes with round, almost plumb textures, that are quickly firmed up by a stimulating blend of sharp acidity and penetrating yellow citrus--oh, I almost forgot the gobs of minerality that it leaves behind. The finish is cheek-puckering--dry, but in the best possible way, like biting into a lemon pith followed by a healthy swig of sweet lemonade. As a result, I find myself reaching for the glass again. Wow, this wine is total entrapment.
