Tasting notes
The 2011 Block 2 Chardonnay offers a wonderful array of savory and citrus notes redolent of apricots, pink grapefruit and orange blossoms with suggestions of cashews, baker’s yeast, butterscotch and allspice. Medium-bodied and still very tightly knit in the mouth, it has layers of stone fruit, nut and spice flavors supported by a seamless line of acid, and a finish with great length. Drink it now to 2019+. Importers: Martin Scott Wines, Ltd., Lake Success, NY, tel. (516) 327-0808; Youngs Market, CA; tel. (510) 475-2259; Maverick Wine Co., LLC, Bensenville, IL; tel.

Pale straw. Smells like Chablis! Lots of weight and extract though not sweet. Intense and very rewarding. Great tension. Masses of both fruit and acidity has me searching for tropical fruit analogies but that would be wrong as this is definitely not of the cool, hi-tech school. Very long and refined. (JR)
