Tasting 2007 Melville Chardonnay Estate Verna's Vineyard
- 2007 Melville Chardonnay Estate Verna's - USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Barbara County (8/8/2009)
Earlier this year, we took a marvelous trip to the CA Central Coast and did a tasting at Melville. Based on that visit, I bought 6 bottles of this wine. Today was the first time I opened a bottle and am very happy with my purchase. Deep green-golden hue. Lemon and roasted nut aromas. Outstanding chardonnay grape flavor with lemon zest, tangerine, green apple and just a hint of vanilla and oak. Big mouth-coating feel and long, tropical sweet-tart finish. I believe I like this one considerably more than some previous CT tasters and thankfully, did not experience the big oak and butter that one mentioned. I'll be drinking most of these over the next 3 years but will probably lay down one or two long term. (90 pts.)
