Community Tasting Note

• Glenn Gilbert Likes this wine: 87 points

  March 14, 2021 - 13.5% alcohol; screw top; medium to long legs, lemon yellow; the wine was opened at approximately 18 degrees C; even the metal bottle cap has a faint whiff of fruit, the wine itself much more so; besides generic fruit and alcohol, there are notes of citrus and peaches; this Chardonnay was tasted within 5 minutes of opening; tannins are subdued on the surface but operate powerfully in the background with sourness and minerality crowding out sweetness and bitterness; little to no evidence of malolactic secondary fermentation (buttery taste); the medium to long finish continues the same balance of components; pair with hors-d'oeuvres cheeses or salted nuts, or with dessert cheeses
