Wine tasting note: 1996 Chalone Monterey County Pinot Blanc

1996 Chalone Monterey County Pinot Blanc

9th Jul 1999 GBP12 USA Table White

[Tasted Blind]. Restrained nose of apples and cloves with some mineral notes - clean and fresh [US Chard?]. Medium bodied with juicy citrus and mineral flavours, clean but luscious with a long, layered, vanilla oak finish. Well integrated. [Guess: US Chardonnay with 4 to 5 years of bottle age]
