WTN: 2004 Chandler Reach Corella

by ClarkDGigHbr » Sun Mar 25, 2007 8:07 pm

I have only tasted two wines from Chandler Reach (located in Benton City, WA), and I have been impressed by both of them. Last week my wife and I bought a bottle of the 2004 Chandler Reach Corella at a local restaurant, as the solution to match her pork tenderloin and my scallops.

This vintage of Corella is a blend of Sangiovese (70%), Cabernet Sauvignon (25%) and Syrah (5%), and I must say it worked out extremely well for us that evening. It had medium-light body, with good flavors of Sangiovese varietal fruit and a nice complement of dark fruit and a bit of spice. The balance of acid and tannin made this a good food wine. It needed about 45 minutes to really open up.

This wine sells for $16 at the winery; I haven't seen it in local stores, yet.
