Monteverro - Chardonnay 2012

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "The 2012 Chardonnay is a rich and creamy Tuscan white. You´ll want to pair it with shellfish risotto or vegetables au gratin. This warm vintage delivers loads of yellow fruit that emerges from the bouquet with power. Beyond the fruit are rose petal, pine nut and exotic spice aromas. Hints of vanilla and dried pineapple make brief appearances. The wine stands apart for its texture. The richness is soothing and soft. The finish is velvety and supple. This vintage is slightly less complex, perhaps, but the results are impressive nonetheless." Drink: 2017 - 2024 - Monica Larner.

JAMES SUCKLING: "A white with lots of sliced apple, pear and light-vanilla-cream aromas and flavors. Full body, yogurt and dried apple flavors. Layered and delicious. Always serious. Drink now."
