Clos du Val 2008 Reserve Chardonnay (Carneros)

Country: US / Reserve
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Clos du Val / Carneros

Hard to say just why this Chard isn’t better. It’s nicely dry, with decent acidity, good oak and a mineral background to the citrus and peach flavors. There’s just a heaviness that keeps the wine from getting airborne.
