Bodegas Otto Bestue's 2009 Abuela Joaquin is an unoaked blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Viognier. Medium straw-colored with a green tint, it offers up an enticing nose of spiced apple, pear, apricot, and baking spices. Round, ripe, and concentrated on the palate, this pleasure-bent offering is an outstanding value for drinking over the next 1-2 years.
