2002 Cousino Macul Chardonnay, Chile $12
What a great Chardonnay from Chile, packing loads of flavor
and keeping the acidity in balance. Aromas of yellow apples and hints of oak
fill the glass leading into a great fruit packed Chardonnay. The flavors are abound
in this wine, layers of pears, lemon zest and apples are all framed with
whispers of toasted oak and butter. The finish leaves you wondering how they
packed all these great flavors into one bottle.
With all these flavors the menu choices are numerous. We
enjoyed this Chardonnay with an herb roasted chicken. The mixture of herbs and
the slow roasted flavors of the chicken were a match made in heaven. You could
also use this wine with a cream sauce and pasta. Another way to enjoy this wine
is with a friend and relaxing and some light cheese.
