Wine Review
Archive - Chile, Chardonnay
($20). Could
easily be mistaken for Napa Chardonnay,
with its ripe pear, fig and hazelnut
flavor profile and long, creamy finish.
Very good, and a good value, too. Ready
to drink now. (Robyn's Picks 07/07)
($12).
Lush flavors at an affordable price, featuring
hazelnut-laced fig and cream, pear and
a toasty oak finish that lingers nicely.
Ready to drink now. (Bargain Wine 04/06)
($9). A refreshing
quaff, with juicy apple and lemon flavors
that mingle with mineral and toasty oak
touches. Ready to drink now. (Bargain
Wine 04/06)
($8). Ripe pear and peach fruit, with
smoky, spicy oak throughout. Enjoyable.
Ready to drink now. (Weekend Wine , 10/03)
($10). Good value with this Chilean Chardonnay,
with crisp pear and apple fruit balanced
with lush tropical influences and moderate
creamy oak. Ready to drink now. Nice with
garlic and herb cream cheese spread on
flatbread. (Weekend Wine, 10/02)
($7).
Showy pineapple, kiwi and lime surround
a solid apple core in this medium-bodied,
refreshing wine. Finishes crisp and
clean. Good value here. Ready to drink
now. (Winery Spotlight, 10/02)
($10). Lush banana accents on the bouquet
are repeated on the palate, merging
with crisp green apple and pear flavors.
All on a medium-bodied frame with mouthwatering
citrus acidity offset by creamy oak.
Another good value. Ready to drink now.
(Winery Spotlight, 10/02)
($17). A lot of wine for the money,
this Chilean Chardonnay offers ripe
tropical aromas and flavors that are
balanced with juicy citrus and an appealing
burst of cleansing acidity. Long, elegant
finish is accented with creamy vanilla.
Ready to drink now. (Weekend Wine 09/07)
($19). Sweet tropical
fruit flavors mix with creamy vanilla
and an odd vegetal note. Didn't care
for it. (Robyn's Picks 07/07)
($8). Light tropical, coconut
aromas introduce soft melon and apple
fruit. Could use more complexity and body.
Ready to drink now. (Weekend Wine, 12/03)
($12). Extracted nectarine
and melon flavors are balanced with a
juicy citrus note and buttery, toasty
oak. Ready to drink now. (Bargain Wine
10/04)
