帕茲齊奧托尼霞多麗干白葡萄酒

點擊次數：3385

From the Russian River, the 2006 Chardonnay Zio Tony Ranch exhibits copious citrus and mineral characteristics along with hints of honeyed grapefruit, wet rocks, and spice. This clean, crisp, medium-bodied Chardonnay is slightly monolithic, but it will offer attractive drinking over the next 2-3 years. One of the most impressive Burgundian-styled negociant operations in California, the quartet of Donald and Heather Patz, James Hall, and Anne Moses continues to fine tune and improve what were already top-notch wines. Their 2006 Chardonnays represent successes for the vintage. All four 2006 Pinot Noirs are good given the vintage, but not at the level that one expects from high quality Pinot Noir producers. Tel.

Enormously flavorful, with an eruption of grilled pineapples, lemondrop candy, peach pie, caramel and butterscotch notes that finish dry and spicy. Feels a little soft and unstructured, but makes for very nice drinking.——S.H.(2/1/2009)—— 89
