A nice no nonsense Chardonnay from Argentina; gives subtle and yet full expression of it’s fruit; spicy Cantaloupe, lime zest, and Adriatic fig.

White nectarine, mineral, fleshy peach, citrus, and toasted almond; though no wood it seemed to have a buttery undertone. For palettes who like the buttery chardonnays this wine may appeal to those people. I looked for information online I could not confirm if this wine has received malolactic fermentation but it most likely has gone through this process.

While I am disappointed with Melville’s current Pinot Noir vintage; I thought this Chardonnay was strikingly bold and distinct; truffled honey, sweet lime zest, Oyster mushroom, and hazelnut.

Stag’s Leap is an infamous name in Napa Valley and beyond; while I thought this was a nice Chardonnay I did not find it extraordinary; this wine gives plenty of Brazil-Cashew nut, lemon zest with subdued ginger.
