Rodney Strong Chardonnay 1998
Sonoma County, California, United StatesFresh mineral, pear, apple nose with some spice at the edge. It is a slightly cooler version than previous examples. Just over 50% barrel fermentation and a combination of French and American oak aging gives the wine a creamy texture with honeyed, pear-peach fruit flavours. A rich but clean citrus flavoured finish makes you wan to sip it all day.Tasted: 01 September 1999Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $24.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
