| 2006 Russian Hill Chardonnay Gail Ann's Vineyard Russian River, Sonoma, California WB Rating: 86 Alcohol by volume: 14.3% Price at time of purchase: $32.00 (from winery) Type: Chardonnay Principal varietal(s): Chardonnay Similar to the 2005, this non-malolactic Chardonnay has an attractive crisp structure. But more than the 2005, it seems to be dominated by non-fruit components: vanilla, butterscotch, cloves. There is an underlying flavor of spiced apples, but at least to my taste, there is just not enough fruit to support the structure. Good Chardonnay - just doesn't fit my favorite flavor profile. - HK 2008-11-06 [Back] |
