拜倫霞多麗干白葡萄酒

點擊次數：6878

Made in the modern style, with plenty of sweet oak and modest lime, green apple, persimmon and buttered toast flavors, brightened with acidity. Shows good varietal character for the price. ——S.H.(6/1/2011)—— 86

The only Chardonnay I tasted from Byron was also outstanding. The 2008 Chardonnay Santa Maria exhibits crisp apple and tropical fruit with loads of background wood, spice, and earth. The wine is medium to full-bodied, pure, and a strong effort. Drink it over the next 1-2 years. Tel. (805) 934-4700; Fax (805) 938-1581

Very rich, reflecting 100% barrel fermentation in partial new oak and 100% malolactic fermentation. Under the creamy lees and buttered toast are scads of pineapples, pears and papayas. The grapes come from the Nielson Vineyard. ——S.H.(7/1/2010)—— 92
