Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay 1999

Napa Valley, California, United StatesSpicy, clove lees aromas with creamy vanilla, ripe peach, mineral and pear notes well integrated. Somewhat drier, leaner style on the palate with ripe apple, pear and peach flavours mixed with nice floral, spicy, creamy mineral citrus tones. Very balanced and refined, long viscous citrus, floral, lees finish. A nice combination of Burgundy styling and California fruit.Tasted: 01 September 2000Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
