Arrowood Reserve Speciale Chardonnay 2004
 |
|
BN#220500 |
Arrowood 2004 Reserve Chardonnay is a rich, plush Chardonnay with aromas of light, toasted coconut, melon and peach that follow through to the palate. Aging for 14 months in new and seasoned French oak barrels creates a lovely, delicate balance between fruit and oak that complement each other very nicely. Delicious overtones of fruitiness in the background linger in the wines' long, clean, crisp finish.
Our Reserve Chardonnay is a treat on its own and complements so many different foods. Try it with smoked salmon or crab cakes or pair it with chicken, pork or shrimp in a rich cream sauce.. For a simple way to make a big impression, try it with a little Gruyere or Provolone and French bread.
Wine Advocate
Arrowood’s top Chardonnay, the 2004 Reserve Speciale, is a 357-case offering that represents a selection from three separate vineyards, and receives the same treatment as the Alary Vineyards cuvee. Copious quantities of orange blossom, pineapple, and other tropical fruits are accompanied by good definition, refreshing acidity, and a full-bodied, concentrated mouthfeel.
Score: 92.
