Vintage Cellar Review: Quite an interesting Chardonnay, in an era when so many are too sweet and extracted. There's plenty of orange and apricot fruit flavor, but also a brilliant streak minerality, like a like of cold steel, and the overall taste is dry. Really easy to like, with lots of complexity to warrant repeated sipping.
My Review: This wine was just in the "okay" area for me. Not horrible but not great either. I caught a hint of pear in the aroma and when first tasting this wine doesn't taste like much. Its only after a few seconds that you get hit with the acidity, which I found to be a little too overpowering. In the after-taste the acidity continues but I also got the addition of the hotness from the alcohol.
