Gloria Ferrer Carneros Estate Grown 2007 Chardonnay


Gloria Ferrer Carneros Estate Grown 2007 Chardonnay, $8.49-$18.99, 89 points, begins with a light golden color and a funky melon aroma captured on its medium body with light acidity and lots of spice, caramel, and oaky vanilla, but nothing dominates, nothing detracts from its refreshment, flavor (hints of apple and pear) and seafood pairing potential. Is this a great chardonnay? Probably not, but it is a sublimely competent Californian Chardonnay? In my humble opinion, for $8.49 you may never have a better Chardonnay.
Finishing long on oak-spice.

  1. Dennis,

    I've had Ferrer's Carneros Pinot but have not tried this one. Holy cow, $8.50--that's a phenomenal price for a Carneros Chardonnay.
