Head to Head Chardonnay Blind Tasting, Episode #872 (6/10/2010)
W_Chardonnay - Sonoma. #2; BLIND; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-golden; NOSE-really funky; like a campfire smells like after it's been put out; ash meets smoke; a little banana peel as well; quite smoky and oaky; PALATE-very New World; very oaky; buttered apple and oak; but good acidity; a pretty well made wine if you like that CA style and wouldn't be surprised if this was pretty expensive; POST REVEAL-it's clear that my and RP's palate are very different for Chards, but as I said was not surprised that it was a more expensive wine; RP-94; GV-86 86 points |

Head to Head Chardonnay Blind Tasting, Episode #872 (6/10/2010)
W_Chardonnay - Mersault. #1; BLIND; VaynerPAZZZ; COLOR-light golden; NOSE-the Oak Monster smoking a cigarette -- both oaky and smoky; a little vanilla; almost unbearable; PALATE-clean and crisp; fresh; I like the acid; it's starting to fall apart and becoming a little watery; I like the acid, but this is thin and lacks complexity; POST REVEAL-like this better for my palate, but this is thin; GV-86+ 86+ points |
