| 2011 Qupé Chardonnay Santa Barbara County Y Block Santa Barbara County, California WB Rating: 87 Alcohol by volume: 13.5% Price at time of purchase: $13.99 (Safeway) Type: Chardonnay Principal varietal(s): Chardonnay This Y Block no longer indicates it's from Bien Nacido Vineyard, only from Santa Barbara County. But whatever vineyards it comes from, it's a fresh, lively, tasty Chardonnay. Fruit leans towards the tropical, and texturally it's more crisp than voluptuous. Touches of vanilla, nutmeg, hazelnut, melon, pear. Clean and well-defined, refreshing and untiring, nice level of acidity. Excellent value. - HK 2014-10-27 [Back] |
