2011 Testarossa Dos Rubios Vineyard Santa Lucia Highlands Chardonnay
14.1% alc., 282 cases, $39. Clones 76 and 17.
·
Moderately deep gold color with
a tinge of orange and clear in the glass. Very shy initially, but opens gradually
and becomes quite enticing later in the day from an opened bottle. Aromas of
apple, citrus, grilled peach and vanilla. Soft and smooth, with flavors of white
peaches, citrus, spice and a hint of nutty, toasty oak. Perfectly fine on its own,
but has the balance, acidity and restrained oak to compliment many foods. Better later in the day from an opened bottle.
Very good.
