Mini OL of the board in Mendoza, Argentina; 11/3/2005-11/4/2005 (Mendoza, Argentina): I have to admit that I am a bit confused regarding this producer. In Argentina the bottle states "Familia Reina" while Stephen Tanzer and Cellartracker lists it as Andeluna, which as far as I know produces different wines. I do not know either if Familia Reina is part of the Rutini Family or a different venture altogether, any clarifications will be welcome.
The Chardonnay 2003 features a bright golden color and good viscosity with an expressive and elegant nose of tropical fruit and vainilla (though not overpowering). In the mouth it has a round attack with good acidity and an open mid palate of tropical fruit. This is a refined wine which is long and has an interesting somewhat mineral finish and powerful aftertaste. Very good.

Kelly made Greek food and this was a nice pairing. Strong oak, smooth and long finish.
