Saintsbury Carneros Chardonnay 2005
Carneros, Napa Valley, California, United StatesLove the restrained cool fruit nose of green apple skin, mineral and lees. There's oak but you hardly notice it (only 20 percent is new) as you slide into the crisp, crunchy fruit on the mid-palate reminiscent of the aforementioned green apples and pear with a creamy, lees finish. Unfiltered for the final touch. At 15,000 plus cases we can celebrate quality, quantity and years of refinement and experience that delivers a clear vision of the future of California chardonnay.Tasted: 17 April 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:| BC | $36.00 | 750ml | specialty listing |
