El Enemigo
Mendoza Chardonnay
Surprisingly rich and oily textured. This is hefty and yet has bright acidity. I suppose a bit cooler it could go well with seabass or other oily but mild fish. Very well made, just not for me.

Aug 16th, 2022Not shy this white. Ample nose of white boned fruit and butter. Exuberant fruit, ripe, praches and pears. Good body and length, would not hold it much longer. I see it in the ripe California style with good handled oak

Dec 25th, 2023Clear, translucent straw dress. Pear nose, citrus zest, brioche, and woody tip. Hyper balanced mouth with a certain charm, a beautiful length on freshness, well-balanced body between brioche notes and melted breeding tannins. A wine that obviously evokes the Burgundian style with this very "new world" way to reveal itself unequivocally. The way to drive aromas subtly during the tasting may be what is missing to make it a little magical wine.( Irrigation, terroir)
Robe paille claire, translucide. Nez poire, zeste d’agrume, brioche, et pointe boisée. Bouche hyper équilibrée au charme certain, avec une belle longueur sur la fraîcheur, avec un corps bien affirmé entres notes viennoise et tanins d’élevage fondus. Un vin qui évoque évidemment le style bourguignon avec cette façon très « nouveau monde » de se livrer sans équivoque. La manière de se dévoiler subtilement au cours de la dégustation sera peut être ce qui manque pour en faire un vin un peu magique.(Irrigation, terroir)
