Inspired by Dale's selfless act of opening a K-J Chard, we tonight
opened a bottle of the 2007 Yellowtail Chardonnay that a friend had
given us a while ago. My one previous encounter with it, vcry early on
in the history of the brand, was a pleasant one, so I approached this
wine without too much dread. Indeed, it wasn't grotesque, showing a bit
of appley fruit, only a hint of oak and no buttery malolactic remnants
but also a bit of residual sugar. Our main reason for opening it was
Jean's desire for a low-acid white, something that we're not overly
endowed with here. It fit the bill admirably and was drinkable if not
exactly memorable.
Your re****ter in the trenches,
Mark Lipton
