| 2009 Joseph Phelps / Freestone Vineyards Chardonnay "Fogdog" Sonoma Coast, California WB Rating: 89 Alcohol by volume: 13.5% Price at time of purchase: $35.00 (Winery) Type: Chardonnay Principal varietal(s): Just released, this Chardonnay from the excellent 2009 vintage is drinking beautifully right out of the box. Lovely balance of fruit and acid keeps the wine fresh and energetic - a characteristic of all of Freestone's wines. This one shows a mix of lemony citrus and stone fruits - the citrus has the edge at this point - as well as touches of roasted cashews and spice. About 40% of the wine is from their Freestone vineyards; the rest from Dutton Ranch and Bacigalupi. - HK 2011-04-12 [Back] |
