Qupe 2014 Chardonnay Reserve Bien Nacido Block 11 750ml

Apricot pit, honey, mint, spices and butter flesh out in the 2011 Chardonnay Bien Nacido Reserve Block 11. The combination of low yields, lees stirring and considerable new oak (2/3rds) yield a rich, deep Chardonnay with an unusual amount of texture for Qupe.” Antonio Galloni 88 Points

“Vivid gold. Intensely perfumed scents of orange zest, pear, succulent herbs and white flowers, with a nervy mineral underpinning. Dense, chewy citrus and orchard fruit flavors show impressive power, with a spine of juicy acidity adding lift. The mineral element continues through the long, spicy finish.” Josh Raynolds 91 Points
