2005 Chalone Vineyard Chardonnay

Community Tasting Note

87 Points

Tuesday, July 15, 2008 - Opened a fresh bottle of this tonight so that I could update the recent note from a week or so ago. My impression from that brief tasting was that this was a pretty good chardonnay and that holds true now that I have had this bottle. There is definitely some oak on the nose of this but in my opinion it is not overpowering and really only prevalent on the nose and not so much on the flavors, which show nice acidity with pear and granny smith apple flavors and a creamy, but not buttery, texture and finish. Quite good all around and for $19 at Costco, not a bad price either. I'll probably pick up a couple more bottles the next time I am there.
