Excellent Chardonnay


Oh my! Cuvaison's 2009 Carneros Chardonnay is the perfect wine for the Spring weather rolling into the ATX. I picked it up at Central Market but am definitely going to buy a case of it for the summer.

From the winemaker Steven Rogstad: "My style and philosophy are based on expressing the unique character of our estate grapes and doing as little as possible to them. When one has such wonderful fruit to work with, that should be ones emphasis."

Winemaker's notes: Bright, light straw with crisp golden highlights. A nose of honeysuckle and beeswax nose with lush notes of white peach and pear blossom. Vibrant apricot and peach tones dominate this richly textured wine, backed by hints of nutmeg and toasty oak.
