Arrow Creek Chardonnay 2008
Posted by Wine Welfare | Filed under $10-$12, California, Chardonnay, White
Color
Solid. A pleasant, mellow gold.
Nose
Strong rock. Some Emmentaler cheese. Cut raw potato (that’s new!). Oak.
Taste
Hello fire in the mouth cradled in swaddling oak. This stuff is supercharged oak. Puuuuuure Cali. I’m getting some wet rocks and some intersting almond and marzipan flavors, but it’s all out-gunned by our woody friend. Full, FULL mouthfeel. Almost too filling. Chardonnay cake comes to mind. Not a Summer-Sipping white. Intense finish that leaves you begging for a glass of water.
With Food
Buttery white foods only. Alfredo sauces and shellfish. This thing could melt cheese. Woof.
