Sacred Hill Riflemans Chardonnay 2007

Hawkes Bay, North Island, New ZealandToasted nuts, peaches, and apricot skin conspire to draw you into this wine that over delivers at all levels. The palate is lively but intense and awash with lemony, mineral fruit flecked with orange and apricot highlights. The finish is long and persistent with nutty, mealy, lees undertones. A lovely ode to Burgundy albeit in a somewhat riper, exotic tone.Tasted: 02 October 2011Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
