Krutz Family Cellars Sleepy Hollow Vineyard Chardonnay, Santa Lucia Highlands, USA

點擊次數(shù)：1809

A big, powerful and fruity Chardonnay, made in the classic style of this cool-climate vineyard. It’s massive in pineapple, kumquat, buttered toast, vanilla cream and cinnamon spice flavors, brightened with crisp acidity. Should develop mineral, nut and dried fruit notes over the years, if you want to cellar it. ——S.H.(4/1/2011)—— 92

Chards from this vineyard always show a typicity of intensely ripe citrus and tropical fruits, backed with bracing acidity and a stony minerality. This bottling threatens to go over the top in apricot sorbet that may have a touch of botrytis, but it wisely pulls back into balance at the last moment. Will gradually lose fruit over the next 10 years, becoming nuttier and drier. ——S.H.(7/1/2010)—— 93
