Benziger Chardonnay 2001
Carneros, Sonoma County, California, United StatesThis one hundred per cent barrel fermented chardonnay has an enticing spicy lees nose mixed with a riot of mineral, vanilla, butterscotch, citrus rind and melon aromas. Quite rich and round it's slightly oily with more melon, spicy lees, mango, butterscotch, citrus and mineral flavours and a creamy, toasted vanilla finish. Fine acidity and balance mark this very elegant all Carneros fruit effort.Tasted: 10 March 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $29.95 | 750ml | Specialty |
