BALLAST STONE CHARDONNAY - 2005

From Currency Creek, South Australia with 13.5% alcohol.

TASTING NOTES:

Pale water-yellow color with aromas and flavors of oak, butter and melon. Extremely long 60 second finish of Tootsie Rolls and caramel. Smooth and simple.

SCORE & RECOMMENDATION:

85 PTS

I bought this bottle on clearance for $2.99 although it retails for around $9. I used it for cooking but it was a pleasant surprise. Solid and serviceable especially for the discount price.
