Bodegas Nekeas 2001 Vega Sindoa Chardonnay Cuvee Allier,
Navarra - Spain
I can just
hear you now.....saying "yeah, yeah....sure!...a cheap bottle of
Spanish Chardonnay!"....
We tried
this gem yesterday and it knocked our socks off! It also knocked Robert Parker's socks off!
He calls it
the....."best Chardonnay value in the market." Only 1500 cases were
produced from this estate's best vineyard. Yields were only 1.45 tons
of fruit per acre..."This offering displays the best integration of
wood yet found in a Vega Sindoa cuvee. Excellent ripe notes of
tangerine fruit intermixed with caramel, honey and citrus are followed
by an elegant, fresh Chardonnay with loads of personality." - 89 points, The Wine Advocate #145.
I have been
searching for an affordable Chardonnay that delivers the goods for the
longest time! EUREKA!
In stock
today at $11.50 a bottle. 6 bottle purchase discounts to $10.35 or 12 bottles to $9.78!!
