Community Tasting Notes 7

• fingers wrote: 84 points

  October 23, 2020 - Medium straw-gold color with very slow legs. Medium intensity nose of oak, vanilla, banana, and citrus creme. Palate is consistent with the bouquet and generous on fruit and alcohol. Not enough acidity for my tastes and I’m not too pleased with the overall balance, but it’s no worse than I expected from the middle shelf at the supermarket.
  The finish is at least clean and free of aberration.
  4+10+13+7= 84

  March 24, 2020 - I will remember this wine as it was purchased on the last day of "normalcy" prior to Sheltering in Place ensuing. We had ventured to our local Jewel in search of any essentials that the panic buyers may have left on the shelves (notable that organic produce does not appear to be an essential for most people). There on a rack hidden away by the restrooms at the back of the store were heaped a few bottles at 50 % off. This La Crema was one of them. What's to lose I wondered. While Dulcie grabbed a brace of Cupcakes (?) I made off with this. I wouldn't disagree with Ben Christiansen's assessment, but it's a pretty nice chard for the money. I should remember to check out Jewel's remaindered shelves more often during a pandemic,

  November 22, 2019 - Elegant, medium-high intensity nose of pear, apple and some mineral accents and touches of butter and tropical fruit. It's medium-full bodied and crunchy on the palate with balanced, juicy acids. Joining the aromas replays are some earthy and wood notes on the palate. Excellent finish length.

  October 23, 2019 - The VIP box Chardonnay instead of at the 50 yard line.
  
  Has the plastic chardonnay thing going on the nose. Mid palate full, simple fruit excercise, a bit simple on the finish.
