Tandem Sangiacomo Vineyard Chardonnay, California, USA

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：3862

Very oaky, with sweet caramel and butterscotch flavors overshadowing the underlying pineapples, pears and limes. But crisp acidity makes for balance, and a firm, stony minerality uplifts and provides structure. ——S.H.(2/1/2009)—— 87

The grapes from this vineyard in the Petaluma Gap typically get very ripe, while maintaining the acidity needed for balance. Tandem’s ‘05 is richly elegant and riper than in the past, with opulent flavors of nectarines, candied peaches and pears, marzipan, honeysuckle, butterscotch and cinnamon. Should stay at its peak for several years.——S.H.(5/1/2008)—— 92
