2011 Castello di Amorosa Chardonnay

Community Tasting Note

88 Points

Saturday, August 31, 2013 - (14.4%) Oak for sure but without the butter. Enough to keep my wife (a La Crema fan) satisfied without me needing to reach for another bottle which makes this one somewhat of a rare creature. Vanilla, apple, pear with pleasant acidity and citrus edges on the palate before a spiced, toasted finish that isn’t overwhelming and even shows a touch of liveliness as it lingers. A well done CA Chardonnay and at $28 fairly priced for the product.

Wine Geek Notes: 50% new French oak, aged “sur lie” for 10 months
