愛德森凱特琳珍藏霞多麗干白葡萄酒

點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：6014

The 2007 Chardonnay Caitlin’s Reserve is medium straw-colored with a nose of toasty apple, pear, and mineral notes. Round and ripe on the palate buttressed by lively acidity, this nicely balanced effort has plenty of flavor in a straightforward style. Under the more challenging conditions presented by the 2007 vintage, Adelsheim Vineyards did not quite perform to the level they achieved in 2006. Nevertheless, this is a solid collection of wines.Tel. (503) 538-3652; www.adelsheim.com

Stylish and deep, Adelsheim’s Caitlin’s Reserve bottling is a gem. The plump green and yellow fruits are buttressed with sweet spice and toasted hazelnut flavors from barrel fermentation. It’s round and full and seductive; you can’t wait for the next sip, the next glass.——P.G.(12/15/2009)—— 92
