Tasting notes
The 2008 Chardonnay Curtefranca is terrific in this vintage, perhaps the finest I have ever tasted. Layers of rich, textured fruit caress the palate as this mineral-driven Chardonnay opens up in the glass. The 2008 boasts striking depth and purity. Hints of tropical fruits, minerals and sweet spices meld together beautifully on the finish.
