Artesa
Los Carneros Chardonnay



Straw yellow, with stone fruit and citrus aromas and floral notes. On the palate melon, pineapple and pear, fresh & crisp with notes of honey and smoky oak, a bit creamy. Lingering finish with wet stone and minerality character, well balanced, stays crisp on ending. Nice!

Sweet buttery wine with hints of melon and lingering citrus. Wet in the mouth and quite drinkable. Would be if it from more oak. A nice buy for 15 at Costco

Jan 23rd, 2022Was expecting less oak from an old European winemaker. Seems like they just hired a California Chardonnay maker who cranked up the oak. Not a fan.

Nice chardonnay, cheaper than Rombauer — but slightly lower quality as well (a hint of ammonia?). A delightful winery to visit in person.

Gift. Not into it day 1 although it did get better with the fried chicken. Day two calmed and leveled off a bit. Then it was pretty decent. Still sightly commercial for my taste. I much prefer artisan wine. Listen to me what a fucking schmuck.

Wowza - this has darkened & fattened up nicely - this is a hedonistic delight: all kinds of yellow stone fruit, dead sexy, coconut & beeswax, broad unctuous silky and absolutely delicious
