This bottle was marked "Lot 20". The bar code doesn't register correctly.
This bottle was a good example of a Carneros Chardonnay. We loved the fruity, mineral, and oaky notes of this wine. It went well with fried butterfly pork chop.
If it is still available, we will buy more.

Nose: berry fruit Taste: light tannin, high acidity, barnyard, fruity.
Decanted, and waited 30 minutes. That didn't help noticeably.
We thought it might be bottle variation, but the second bottle was the same as the first. We were disappointed with this wine.
We had a bottle of the same vintage bought in Washington that we drank on September 15, 2015. I didn't take notes, but I remember it being well balanced and pleasing.

NV Mionetto Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Sergio

It went well with dry rubbed barbecued pork ribs and polenta with Parmesan cheese and roasted red bell pepper.
It had more fruit flavor than I had expected. I would buy it again.
