Wine: 2004 La Crema 9 Barrel Chardonnay
Review: La Crema has quickly become my favorite California Winery. They make a wide range of high quality wines at reasonable prices. And, while the wines are readily available they are not so ubiquitous that they are available on every street corner, so they still make for a unique presentation.
To make the 9 Barrel Chardonnay the La Crema winemaker chooses the best 9 Barrels from their run of Chardonnay, ages them longer, individually numbers them and bottles them. The math geek was excited because I was able to get number 1609.
I like this wine becuase it does not taste a like a Chardonnay. it is a crisp wine with strong citrus flavors and a hint of mint. The barrel aging add a toasty finish, but not too oaky, the way many oak-aged Chardonnays are. Overall, an excellent wine.
Price: $40.00
Grade: 90
