A very small quantity of Chardonnay was made last year by this boutique winery whose flagship wine is Cabernet. Very deep golden yellow. Quite unusual color. The wine looks and feel viscous and not particularly clear.
Tiny bubbles attest to some sort of late fermentation.
Initially melon and peaches but in a relatively short time 'gained' some yeasty and woody aromas that were not all that pleasant. Mouthfilling to the extreme with highly extracted fruity and mineral flavors. So rich and 'obvious' in fact that it lacked any sort of finesse and elegance. Surprisingly short aftertaste for such a full-thrust wine. A strange assortment of aromas and flavors, some good and some unpleasant.
