Monte Paschoal 2012 Dedicato Vinho Branco Seco Fino

Chardonnay (Brazil)

This wine’s crystalline appearance is brightly yellow. The nose is lightly oaky with vanilla and toast at the forefront and Asian pear and yellow apple in the background. The finish is medium, but its focus is exclusively on the oak. The palate fights–and struggles–to put forth tree fruit in front of the oak. The moderate fruit concentration, medium body and varietal typicity suggest this wine could make bigger strides with a bit less oak. Drink now through 2014.
