Hess Select Chardonnay 2008

Monterey County, Central Coast, California, United StatesNot much has changed here over the years. Classic old-fashioned California chardonnay that has limited appeal in 2010. The nose is fat and buttery with citrus and tropical fruit aromas. On the palate the more butter and baked fruit nuances with sweet peach fruit flavours and plenty of oak. A bit too much for modern-day chardonnay drinkers.Tasted: 02 October 2010Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
