| Gallo Family Vineyards 2004 Sonoma Reserve Chardonnay is
produced from Sonoma County fruit. The wine shows a clear
light yellow gold core that fades to a watery rim. The nose
has aromas of sweet oak and vanilla that mix well with
yellow delicious apples along with nectarines and cashews.
Upon first taste the palate is full of gentle fruit-driven
sweetness. With lively acidity and a full body, this
Chardonnay is nicely balanced. A mid-length finish remains
persistent. This is a young and juicy Chardonnay which shows
varietal intensity yet uncomplicated complexity. |
