Chalone Vineyard Monterey County Chardonnay 2009, Monterey County, California, USA



It has been a while since I have enjoyed a Chardonnay this much. For my palate, this Chardonnay was able to strike the right balance of oak, to give it a nice creamy buttery texture, good fruit and acidity. This flavourful Chardonnay opens up with citrus fruit, pear, butter and roasted nuts. The mouthfeel is rich, creamy/buttery with citrus and apple flavours and crisp acidity with a finish that is long, buttery texture with smoke and pears lingering. Well made, elegant and well priced. Highly recommended.


This wine was purchased August 20. 2011 LCBO New Release at $ 16.95.
