| 2000 Stags Leap Wine Cellars Chardonnay Beckstoffer Ranch Napa Valley, California WB Rating: 86 Alcohol by volume: 14.5% Price at time of purchase: $40.00 () Type: Chardonnay Principal varietal(s): Chardonnay A fairly steely and unyielding wine at this point, somewhat like a young Chablis. More mineral- than fruit-driven, but still has some nice pear and yeasty notes in the flavors. Perhaps it will soften and become more warm-hearted with age, but in its current state we find it more admirable than pleasurable. (Note: This wine was tasted as a dinner guest, so availability not known. Cost estimated based on '99 Beckstoffer, from Stag's Leap web site.) - HK 2002-12-24 [Back] |
