3 Killer Whites, Episode #799 (1/12/2010)
W_Chardonnay - Australia. #2; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-golden; NOSE-very oaked; big time oak and butter; a little candied green apple; big nose; a very New World chard nose; PALATE-good acid; a hair alcoholic; good creaminess; not a big as I expected; nice wine; I like this; some subtle bark; an almond paste flavor on the mid-palate is exceptional; a little watermelon rind on the back-end; it's delicious; BUT there's many wines for $35 that taste like this; WS-95; GV-90+ 90+ points |

3 Killer Whites, Episode #799 (1/12/2010)
W_Sauvignon Blanc - Loire Valley. #3; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-golden; NOSE-a little citrus action (lime); some minerality and a little New World grassiness; PALATE-quite grassy; some moss as well; good acid; ripe and complex gooseberries and guava; very green driven (basil; bell pepper; grass; lime); a little too green for me; a little short on the finish; WS-91; GV-86+ 86+ points |

3 Killer Whites, Episode #799 (1/12/2010)
W_Viognier - Condrieu, Rhone Valley. #1; COLOR-golden; NOSE-exotic; intriguing floral; like imaginary flower pastries; potpourri with pastry Crème element; exotic and complex; really pretty nose; PALATE-kiwi cut in half with white pepper on it; and this picks up steam (starts off with fresh acidity on the attack; then more on the mid-palate and by the time you get to the finish, it's a runaway train); big wine; really stands up and has the complexity and structure that you see in so many White Burgs; very thick; I like the flavor and finish; it's complex; not for everyone; some mint on the finish; a great bottle of white wine; THIS is complexity (more complex than many reds); JR-91; WS-93; GV-92 92 points |
