Cloudy Bay Chardonnay 2001 (New Zealand)

Cloudy Bay Chardonnayicon Price - $25.99 Size - 750 mL- Australian Wine Tasting held on Saturday May 7, 2005 at the Powers Liquor Mart in Colorado Springs with Drew Robinson of Grand Vin Distributors.

Lighter gold color with heavy legs. Minerals and apple on the nose. The wine is a little crispy with more acid than the other white at this tasting. Flavors of apple, oak and some mineral are present. Overall clean and crispy although the finish disappoints by being sour. For more information see Cloudy Bay website. Wine.com has the Cloudy Bay 2003 Chardonnay icon. Grade: C+
