Casablanca Valley, Aconcagua, Chile
Had this at a tasting and grabbed some bottles for the cellar and tasted along side a 2012. Still too young even though you can even put a little age on this wine. Bright straw with stone fruit aromas and smoky notes. On the palate crisp apple and pear with honey and fig notes. Well balanced with good acidity finishing with toasty mineral notes on a medium length. Outstanding value! A bit crispier than the '12.

Aug 1st, 2017Wow you can even put a little age on this beauty and get some benefits. Bright straw color with aromas of stone fruits and smoke notes. On the palate apple and pear with honey and fig notes. Well balanced with good acidity finishing with toasty mineral notes on a medium length. Outstanding value.

Jan 23rd, 2016Oaky, yet a kind of balanced with dried tropicals of pineapple, bananana, apricot, Papaya, all dried. Way overpriced at Bayfront Bistro in Ft. Myers Beach.

Nov 23rd, 2019A bit heavier than I expected. Lightly oaked in a pleasing way. I have really enjoyed their reds, wonder if this would have been a bit better a year or two after release.

Sep 14th, 2018Oooo, after very good Cabernet, we have great Chardonnay from Lapostolle, constantly rated 90+ from 2002 vintage, and I agree, 90pts fits best IMO especially vs price. Well balanced oak and freshness, taste of honey, baked soft yellow apples & pineapple mixed with burnt caramel and fried almonds. Keep calm and sip it - will reward you with loooong finish.
