Patland Estates
Chardonnay
Napa Valley, California, USA
Dark golden in color with a yellow tint.
Nose of citrus, oak, vanilla, spices, overripe pears, yellow apples, light earth, mushrooms and white pepper.
Full bodied, bold and smooth, with medium acidity, and lightly creamed.
Dry on the palate with vanilla, oak, ripened yellow apples, pears, lemons, citrus, spices, earth, bitter herbs, light vegetables, light bananas and peppercorn.
Long spicy finish with bitter almonds.
This is a nice Oaky Chardonnay from Napa Valley. Rich, and very much in your face kind of wine, that many love.
Showing nice complexity and mouthfeel. Good by itself as a sipping wine.
A good quality wine that I really enjoyed, although not my typical Chardonnay. It actually grew on me. At the beginning, it was too much for me, but it is much better with some air time, and when not too cold. So give it time.
This 4 year old is aging nicely and will continue to do so in the next few years. Will be interesting to see how it evolves in 3 years.
A very small production. This is bottle no. 1,207 of 4,545.
14.4% alcohol by volume.
91 points.
$60.
