Catena Chardonnay, 2009

Catena 2009 Chardonnay is from Mendoza, Argentina.  I found it to have a nice fruit profile with a hint of minerality, an enjoyable acidity, and although oak aged, it was not very noticeable.  In fact, some customers tasting the wine (this was not one of my tastings) kept asking the pourer if it was oak aged or stainless steel fermented.  Although not my favorite, I would still drink and enjoy it.  

Winemaker's Notes:  Honeyed  stone fruit flavors with a rich, unctuous mouthfeel, citrus notes, pear and fig flavors with a strong minerality and a crisp finish.
