Snosrap Monterey County Coastview Vineyard Chardonnay 2007
Region: Monterey County, California
Winery: Snosrap
Variety: Chardonnay

Color: golden straw with some greener highlights.

Nose: Beautiful nose, even at this very young age. Great pear, pineapple, yellow apple, honeysuckle and some underlying oak and cream, finishing with some great spiciness.

Palate: Frank Melicia has done an incredible job on this wine. His ability to keep a nice crisp acidity, and yet add some great full-bodied suppleness to complement the wonderful white and tropical fruit of the nose is just a brilliant job. Finishes with an unusual mixture of crisp fruit and silky creamy mouthfeel and some honey at the end. Great stuff!
