Cono Sur Reserve Chardonnay 2005

Valle de Casablanca, Region de Aconcagua, ChileThe Reserve is a blend of Casablanca estates fruit that gets a 60 40 wood versus stainless steel ferment where the wood is 90 new French oak. The style is softer and a bit more open showing ripe melon, mineral and citrus lime rind notes. Creamy but less well defined in the mouth and showing some dryness in the back end. Solid if unexciting compared to the aromatic varietals made at Cono Sur.Tasted: 12 August 2006Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
