2010 Foxglove Central Coast Chardonnay 750ml
The winemaker behind this remarkable Chard is Bob Varner. He makes Foxglove SLO Chardonnay in a fresh, approachable manner which is loaded with plenty of tropical fruit, lovely crisp notes and extremely refreshing. It contains no malolactic fermentation or oak. Unbelievably good at this or any price!
ROBERT PARKER RATING: 90ROBERT PARKER REVIEW: The 2010 Chardonnay is one of the top values in California wine. It possesses tons of ripe, varietal fruit in a style that is quite rich but not heavy. Clean citrus and floral notes add freshness on the long finish. Lees stirring gives the wine much of its richness, while aging in steel helps maintain freshness. There is remarkable depth and textural finesse here, never mind a price that is mind-boggling for this level of quality. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
