Alpha Omega Chardonnay Unfiltered 2007

seductive style that s smooth, rich and creamy, with zingy acidity adding vibrancy to the layers of ripe fig, melon and baked apple, finishing with a hint of butterscotch and a long, layered finish. Drink now through 2015. —James Laube Featuring the captivating elegance of a Montrachet combined with big rich tropical fruit, this wine truly elevates Chardonnay to the upper echelon of collector white wines. Deliciously smooth notes of honeysuckle, poached pear, brioche, and white currants are present in this wine, which also exhibits some citrus oil and a subtle influence of new oak. Launching forth with notes of honeysuckle and toasty brioche, the palate features poached pear, white peach with some oily citrus and tropical fruit (primarily pineapple) that jumps from the glass of this powerful, broad, but beautifully layered wine that is harmonious and pure and silky smooth. This thriller effort may be enjoyed now or anytime over the next 3 – 5 years INSIDER Historically, Newton s Unfiltered Chardonnay has set the gold standard for big, bold and deliciously rich collector Chardonnay. Insider Scoop is that the world famous winemaking team that crafted Newton s classic vintages (rated 95 – by Robert Parker) earlier this decade has left that winery and has just released an even Chardonnay for Alpha / Omega winery. The upcoming release of Alpha Omega s 2007 Chardonnay has already received a Classic 96+ Rating, unprecedented for a wine under $50, because it features the captivating elegance of a Montrachet combined with big rich tropical fruit white wine collectors adore!
