2005 R. López de Heredia Rioja Reserva Viña Bosconia Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo

flawed

Second bottle from my cellar. We debated whether this was drinkable and decided that if it takes so long to answer the question.... Did not seem anything like a $30 Rioja. Probably mishandled. Will try to return it.

2013 David Bruce Chardonnay Russian River Valley

Intensity and vibrancy lace the aromas and flavors of pineapple, mangoes, and lemons. Mid-bodied, tensile, and velvety, there is plenty of balance, structure, and tension between ripeness and freshness. Toasty coconut and Yuzu zest on the long, buttery finish.

It’s a nice wine, a wine-drinkers interpretation of a medium oaked California Chardonnay. I liked it and with the excellent prices you can find online it’s easy to forgive its flaws, but 90 points it is not.
