Gilbert Cellars Unoaked Chardonnay 2012
Columbia Valley, Washington, United StatesThe Unoaked chardonnay comes off five vineyards from within the Columbia Valley. The nose is fresh an expressive with ripe pineapple and fried apricot notes. The palate is equally lively with floral nutty, skinny nectarine fruit with a twist of minerality. Despite a sweet-ish edge the acidity keeps in checking leaving it food-friendly. Try it with halibut and fruit salsa.Tasted: 28 June 2013Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:BC | $32.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
