Community Tasting Note

caspernick Likes this wine:

Thursday, September 7, 2023 - Pale gold colored with a watery sheen showing medium viscosity (13.5% ABV). The nose is clean with pinpoint aromas of lemon zest, white blossom, pineapple, nutmeg, honeysuckle and grapefruit. The palate is dry with medium acidity and a waxy, full-bodied mouthfeel. Citrus and tropical fruit with white blossom and honeysuckle- but there's something else. I don't get the traditional over-the-top MLF notes, nor is the wine over-oaked but I get hints on both Malo and oak along with some lees stirring, but it's deftly done. A very subtle chardonnay from Carneros that gets 92 points from me. At $20 a pop it gets 5 stars. I'm pairing with grilled pork chops and Jollof rice. Drink till 2028.
