The full-malolactic style is demonstrated by the 2008 Chardonnay Belle Terre Alexander Valley. Poached pear, white peach, apricot, and honeysuckle with a subtle hint of background oak are all present in this beautiful wine. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.
Readers looking for a bevy of outstanding white wines at remarkably fair prices need look no further than the copious number of selections from Chateau St. Jean. There’s a lot to like at all different price points, but the under $25 grouping is especially strong, as evidenced by the following tasting notes. This winery has long been one of the leaders in producing Loire Valley-styled Sauvignon Blancs, which they call Fume Blanc. The Pinot Noir program is less successful than the Chardonnays, but progress is evident with each new vintage.
