點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：12793

The 2006 Chardonnay Belle Terre Vineyard (which sees full malolactic fermentation) offers more tropical fruit, honeyed apricot, and hints of mango, orange marmalade, and brioche. Medium to full-bodied, rich, and tasty, with good acidity as well as a long finish, this stunning value should last for 2-3 years. More consumers need to realize how many outstanding values are available in the Chateau St. Jean portfolio, especially in their white wine program. Tel. (707) 833-4134; Fax (707) 833-4200

Reminiscent of the 2000, this wine has a crisp, linear character that emphasizes minerals rather than the overt tropical fruits the vineyard shows in warmer vintages. It’s a fine, dry, acidic Chardonnay whose oak-infused lemon and lime flavors will complement sourdough bread and cracked crab.——S.H.(9/1/2008)—— 90
