2008 Errazuriz Chardonnay Wild Ferment

Smells: At first, complete buttery oakiness. That blew off fast, and then lemon and pineapple. Sweet whipped cream and vanilla, as well.

Taste: The taste evolved over time. At first it was pretty tight and not integrated. After ten minutes in the bottle nice pineapple, yellow apple, lemon, melon and a bit of salt at the finish. There's a nuttiness as well. Great acidity. Full body. Gold-green color.

Pairing: Lamb meatballs, spinach artichoke dip and Parmesan pita chips. It was actually excellent with everything...a fantastic food wine for appetizers and creamy, vegetal fare.

Price: $5.00! It was a closeout wine. Yum, yum.
