Cono Sur 20 Barrels Chardonnay 2005

Valle de Casablanca, Region de Aconcagua, ChileThis is new style chardonnay mixing mineral and citrus side with ripe tropical floral aromatics and a creamy, vanilla underside. Like many top chardonnay it has an exotic touch of orange peel in the back end. Lovely effort and bodes well for the future of Chilean chardonnay. Winemaker Adolfo Hurtado seems to have a fine handle on the balance, oak and structure of this varietal.Tasted: 12 August 2006Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
