Montes Alpha Casablanca Valley Chardonnay
Had another bottle. Golden straw with tropical fruit aromas and floral spice. 40% of the wine was age for 12 months in French oak barrels. The cool-climate Casablanca Chardonnay shows flavors ripe pineapple, melon and tropical fruit with some banana (which I remembered from my last taste). On the finish balanced acidity, well integrated, nice soft ending with good length. Still tastes fine.

Аромат сладковатый, полный, фруктово-ванильный, с заметным, но не излишним присутствием дуба, персик, цукаты ананаса, сливочное масло. Очень полно, обаятельно. Вкус полный, с тонами фруктов и выпечки, в послевкусии легкие ореховые нотки. Отлично.

Vivid golden color with tropical fruit aromas and a touch of floral spice. The wine was age for 12 months in French oak barrels (40% of it). The palate on this cool-climate Casablanca Chardonnay shows ripe pineapple, melon and tropical fruit flavors with hints of banana (which took me a few tastes to figure out). On the finish gentle acidity, well integrated, nice balance ends smooth with good length.

Среднетелое шардоне с характерным жареным тоном во вкусе, который очень сильно все забивает. При этом весьма хорошая кислотность. Аромат достаточно блеклый: желтые фрукты, легкая дубовость

Apr 9th, 2015Boisterous, leesy, coconuty, broad, creamy. This is a full-impact wine with just enough structure to keep it all encased.

Feb 7th, 2016Lots of mineral and flint on the nose. Surprisingly floral on the palate, with lots of clean citrus. Beguiling and fantastic.
