2002 Gainey Chardonnay Santa Barbara County, California WB Rating: 87 Alcohol by volume: 13.9% Price at time of purchase: $11.99 (K&L) Type: Chardonnay Principal varietal(s): Chardonnay Attractive, ripe nose of oak and citrus with good spiciness. In the mouth surprisingly tight, given the fruit and richness in the nose, and a bit disjointed as if from age. (Bad cork?) Pleasant, oaky finish with a distant hint of bitterness. Good wine that struck me as slightly and prematurely aged. - HK 2005-10-01 [Back] |
