Description I caught the note in the 13th Street brochure about this wine out of the corner of my eye … it was in the Coming Soon section and it read, “Really Good!!!” Crafted from the hot 2005 vintage, this Chardonnay was put into 50% new and 50% 1 year old French oak barrels and it came out … Really Good! Currently the nose is all vanilla and toffee (I like both). The flavours are also barrel oriented: oak, caramel, vanilla and almonds … the finish is also interesting as there seems to be a lingering bit of coffee in the aftertaste. This one needs some time to let the fruit and oak integrates better, but when it does it’ll be even more interesting. Drink now or lie down for the next few years and taste the results happen on your very tongue.
