Santa Rita Chardonnay Reserva 2010

Variety: Chardonnay

Country of origin: Chile
Wine appellation: Casablanca Valley
Vintage: 2010
Alcohol content: 13.5%
Color: light yellow
Bouquet: quite gentle, white flowers, lime, fresh just ripe pineapple, hint of vanilla
Taste: medium body, lime, grilled pineapple, good and pleasant acidity,at the end touch of white grapefruit, medium to slightly longer finish
Overall score: 4+7+12+6.5+7=86.5

Quite good chardonnay with good acidity profile and not overpowering oak. After drinking 3 bottles of 06 vintage I was expecting slightly more, but the truth is the wine is still quite young and I would leave it longer in the cellar.The problem is that I believe I have only one bottle.
