Hestan Vineyards Chardonnay Unfiltered 2009
San Francisco Bay, California, United StatesLight toasty, nutty lees, garlic, butter, vanilla, apple skin aromas but subdued. Dry, round, soft, elegant palate with floral, green apple, citrus, butterscotch flavours but pretty light weight and flat. Seems to lack flavour and concentration. Good but not great. Could it suffer from being cork scalped? Will try to track down another bottle.Tasted: 11 February 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $70.00 | 750ml | speculative listing - Evolution Fine Wines |
