WTN: '12 Arnot-Roberts Chardonnay Trout Gulch Vineyard

by David M. Bueker » Thu Aug 28, 2014 3:28 pm

2012 Arnot-Roberts Chardonnay Trout Gulch Vineyard - USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Santa Cruz Mountains (8/27/2014)
Served blind to an experienced tasting group, 5 of 6 people guessed Chablis, and two guessed Raveneau! The cut and purity were outstanding, and while the fruit was somewhat hidden at first, it came out with warmth and air. Overall this was full of lemons and minerals. I'm going to leave my remaining bottles for a while to see what happens.

Had that wine last year, not sure if it was the '12, but I was mighty impressed
I don't know just how I'm supposed to play this scene, but I ain't afraid to learn...
