Darioush Signature Chardonnay 2003
Napa Valley, California, United StatesCalifornia Burgundy is the model here and the creamy leesy textures and 11 months sur-lies ageing with bi-monthly batonage points it in that direction. The palate is succulent and rich, by now Darioush trademark, with spicy nutty notes a la Corton Charlemagne. Similar to the viognier there is a streak of minerality that that keeps it refined and balanced.Tasted: 30 June 2005Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:US | $41.00 | 750ml | Winery |
