Artesa Chardonnay 2001

Carneros, Sonoma County, California, United StatesCreamy, nutty, spicy lees with honey, buttery apple aromas and a touch of citrus rind. Rich, ripe, creamy oily textures with mineral, butterscotch, lees, honey/nut/pear flavours. A touch austere on entry but very long in the finish. Less new oak could lead to an even better wine brimming with bright Carneros fruit.Tasted: 12 December 2003Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
