High Mountain Vines Chardonnay

Vintage 2018

Deep gold with a greenish tint. Light citrus on the nose. Nice, balanced acidity. Medium body. Straightforward. I taste a hint of pear. No oak. Minerals emerge in the finish. 13.5% alcohol. From high altitude vineyards in Mendoza, Argentina. The Catena Zapata Family has bottled wine in Argentina since 1902. Enjoyed with moules marinières and sourdough bread. Very quaffable. $17.00

15.5/20 (86/100)

Цвет светло-лимонный. Аромат ванильно-цитрусовый, белый перец, кардамон. Сладко-пряный, простой. Вкус соответствующий аромату, пряный, пряности в послевкусии, чуть алкогольное и кислотность. Дуб, леденец. Послевкусие леденцовое долгое.

oak bomb. bummer.

buttery, popcorn, medium to full body, tasty

Always a great value, focused aromas of honey, jasmine, apricots, mango, with hints of citric peel and oaky vanilla. Well rounded mouth feel with honeyed flavors, pears, peach, a pronounced citric flavor on the midpalate, finishing with a cool mineral streak.

Pale-medium lemon color.
Aromas of buttered brioche, lemon.
Dry. Flavors of baked lemon pastry, buttered brioche subtle herbal finish.
