2012 Black Cordon Vineyards Chardonnay Reserve

Estate: Black Cordon Vineyards

Region: Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, United States of America



Tasting Note:October 29, 2016

Medium yellow. Very complex and layered nose with notes of light caramel, butter, toast, and golden apples. Tons of oak influence. Opened up with some star fruit and something almost like pineapple. Day two only intensified the oaky influence especially on the nose. Super rich palate, notes of cream, tree fruits like apples, and toast. Bright acidity (6.5/10) and a little sweet. Day two added some white fruits in the finish. Full bodied and long finish. Stunning Chardonnay made by Paul Hobbs and Julian Gonalez, delicious.

Tour with Eye on Wine and tasted at Black Cordon Vineyard with India. Light pale yellow. Layered nose with tons of stone and white fruits, especially white peach. Light, crisp and refreshing with layers of honeysuckle and creamy mouthfeel. Balanced acidity. Would be nice to try again it.
