2008 Calera Central Coast Chardonnay

wineontheway

The 2008 Central Coast is what one would expect and desire from a Chardonnay. For me, I could feel the butteryness, but had trouble finding the subtle nose and deeper tastes that went under it.
As the wine opened more, I was feeling a bit of the pineapple and tropical fruits, but I did not, at the time credit the wine, as I was nibbling on some dried pineapples and mangos while sipping. I was hoping that the fruit would kick start my anti-chardonnay pallet, and then I blamed the fruit for the flavors!!
