WTN: Cono Sur Chardonnay Reserve 2005

by Bruce Hayes » Wed Aug 02, 2006 2:11 pm

Casablanca Valley.

Very light yellow color.

Oak, spice and pears on the nose.

Big oak attack, peppery, fleshy pear, lemon-lime and tangerine fruit, good tangy acidity.

A drying finish with zippy lemon rind.

I found the sweet oak a bit too much for my tastes, although I did enjoy the "rest" of the wine. While the oak did integrate somewhat with time, I would have liked this wine much more if they could have just turned down the vanilla-caramel a few notches.

Screwcap closure.

Just tasted the new `06 new vintage of the Cono Sur Pinot Noir, Bruce. Not as impressive as the wonderful `05. Do you have this one in your area?
I have not come across your chardonnay yet!
