Review Detail
2009 Wood Park Meadow Creek Chardonnay
Wine Rating
86
A deep yellow in colour that is surprising considering the wines youth.
The nose sets the tone with over the top vanillin oak and butterscotch a common thread. The nose does show some stone fruit character however its influence is fleeting.
The palate continues in the same vein as the nose with a rich buttery palate, elements of peach and no real subtlety.
The finish brings the heavy handed oak and lees characters to a head, without the required acid to keep the wine focused.
A wine for those who like them unmistakably rich.
