2007 Chasseur Sangiacomo 'Green Acres Hill' Chardonnay ***SOLD OUT

From its golden color to its opulent aromas of sweet pear, nectarine, spiced apple, lemon zest, pineapple, toasted coconut, hazelnuts, nutmeg and roasted grain, this is a flashy wine. It proves, as might be expected, extremely rich in the mouth, where flavors suggesting pear liqueur, apple tart and pineapple upside-down cake all make an appearance. The wines lavish texture is as evident in its very long finish, but bright fruit acidity curbs any tendency toward heaviness, keeping things in balance. Terrific now for its sheer drama, it will grow mellower and even more complex over the next year or two. 8 barrels produced.

Vintage Notes:2007 was a nearly perfect growing season which led to a nearly perfect vintage. Unusually dull summer days of moderate sunshine and heat kept everything even during the growing season. Then an unusual heat spike (which seems to be more usual every year) in the final days of August started to elevate sugars. Cooler heads prevailed; those who did not panic were rewarded with cool temperatures in September and October. Longer than usual hang time ensued and unusual wines of unusual quality were the result.

True Wine Afficionados appreciate great Whites.
