Chateau Montelena Chardonnay 2012

Bright yellow. Rather Chablis-like aromas of apple and resin, plus a hint of honey. Sweet and ripe in the nature of the vintage, offering a touch of creaminess to the flavors of fresh peach, apple, herbs and spices. Shows a broad spectrum of ripeness without any obvious extremes. A very successful vintage for this wine. Score - 92. (Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, May/June 2014)
