Review: "The 2008 Chardonnay was fermented with native yeasts and aged for 9 months sur lies in 35% new French oak. It is light gold-colored with an alluring nose of mineral, baking spices, apple, pear, and tropical scents. This leads to a creamy textured, vibrant, complex, medium-bodied Chardonnay with outstanding balance and length. It will drink well for another 4 years. "
Comments: winemaker's notes: The 2008 Catena Chardonnay has a light gold color with an intense nose of baking spice as well as apple, pear and light tropical fruits. The mouthfeel is rich and creamy with nice mineral tones and bright, crisp acidity.
