2007 Liberty School Central Coast Chardonnay

I had given this Liberty School, Central Coast Chardonnay a sip during a Chardonnay flight a couple weeks back, over at Whispering Vine at The Grove. Somehow it all got lost in the evening, but I’d kept notes on my iPhone wine app, Corkz. That’s the good news, because I stopped by the other night and picked up a bottle just to see if my notes were correct.

A friend who has a wine shop back in New York says this may be good but past it’s prime. That might be, but I enjoyed it so much that I’m going back for a couple more bottles tomorrow. It was just that good.

The color of this wine is simply amazing. Rather reminded me of the color of Citrine gems - a brilliant golden yellow. The nose is faint and nothing much, but don’t let that put you off. Better things are to come. Much better.

The first sip was an explosion of bright, luscious Lemon Drops supported by mild floral honey. Mid-palate doesn’t let you down, with butterscotchy, crisp, juicy apples with a hint of spice. The American and French oak is there, but not overpowering. A confident supporting player. The finish is lengthy and slightly toasty.

The is a nice mouth-filling juicyness to this wine that is very pleasant all by itself, but could be even better pared with shrimp, or alongside a beautiful salad course. We had it with a Portugese Seafood Stew and it was perfect.

I paid $10.99 a bottle.
