Community Tasting Note

djlevin Likes this wine:

Saturday, November 22, 2014 - 2014 Italian Wine Tasting Event (Allesia's Ristorante Italiano - Mesa, AZ): Galloni gave this a 91... He must really enjoy big, rich Chardonnay. I enjoyed the nice acidic backbone and the opulent mouth-feel. The aging on the lees added serious texture and body. This wine had a strong red apple nose and palate. The style of winemaking muted the freshness of the fruit. I enjoyed this for what is was, a nice expression of a chardonnay meant to stand on its own. The richness would make food pairings a bit more challenging.
