Ernest & Julio Gallo Chardonnay Laguna Ranch Vineyard Single Vineyard 2001
Sonoma County, California, United StatesThe fog that lingers at Laguna makes it one of Gallo's coolest sites in Sonoma County. Look for a spicy, creamy lees nose laced with honey, mineral, baked apple aromas with some citrus and mango notes. It is dry, round and elegant on the palate with creamy vanilla, toasted lees, green apple skin and mineral flavours. A touch leaner than prior editions which is fine with us. Well balanced with a very leesy, nutty finish (Burgundian). Often underrated given the quality.Tasted: 26 June 2004Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $35.99 | 750ml | Specialty |
