Four Chimneys Reserve White

Four Chimneys claims they are America's first organic winery. Probably in modern times, but I imagine some historical wine makers might argue with them. This 2005 vintage is a blend of Chardonnay and some other unknown white varietal. It is what I would call a Chardonnay for beginners. It is very light on the palate, some acid up front, citrus, soft oak, minimal tannins and a smooth soft buttery finish that lingers longer than expected. This is very well balanced and an easy drinker, but with a subtle complexity that even the most sophisticated wine drinker will appreciate. VERY GOOD
