Benziger Chardonnay Reserve 1998

Carneros, Sonoma County, California, United StatesComplex nose with spicy lees, nutty, pear, peach, and melon aromas with floral, citrus, honey and vanilla tones in the background. Very round, rich and elegant but ripe. Lots of intensity with peach, vanilla, spicy lees, toasty apple and citrus flavours. Layered with a long creamy, citrus, honey finish but a tad soft in acidity. Drink now or over the next two years, Burgundy watch out.Tasted: 01 September 1999Tasted by: Stuart TobePrices:
