Top Value Chardonnay Tasted 2/14

1. Apaltagua Chardonnay Unoaked Reserva Casablanca Valley Chile (2013)

Next » 1 of 5

Previously available for $12.⁰⁰

Almost gingery on the nose with real richness of ripe fruit all spicy apple, poached pear and grilled pineapple laced. This smells terrific and has some of the character of oaked Chardonnay coming from some of the creamy, leesy notes. Rich in the mouth, polished and round with bright, well integrated acidity lending the flavors, which verge on overripe, great freshness. There’s an opulence here and at the same time a sense of restraint that allows some mineral and soil tones to join the show on the midpalate. Finishing with solid length and more mineral notes, along with apple peels and a fine citrus and spice note, this is a fabulous unoaked Chardonnay and a compelling value. 89pts
