| 2008 Bodega Catena Zapata Alamos Chardonnay Mendoza, Argentina WB Rating: 83 Alcohol by volume: 13.5% Price at time of purchase: $9.99 (Safeway) Type: Chardonnay Principal varietal(s): Chardonnay I like the ripe-feeling texture of this wine, along with the balance and sense of life the wine shows in the mouth. However, as I found also in a recent tasting of the 2009 Alamos Malbec, the fruit intensity (banana, pear, apple, caramel) is relatively weak and unexciting. Pleasant enough, but nothing to go out of your way for. - HK 2010-08-10 [Back] |
