Ángelica Zapata Chardonnay 2004
100% Chardonnay
Not available on Wine-searcher.

Beautiful color, with golden tints. Nice, greenish tints.

What an aroma! Sweet plums and cherries, very deceptively fruity. It has the typical Chardonnay freshness and fruitiness to it.

The taste is very soft and smooth. It has just a tad of spiciness. It’s so easy to drink that it’s like water, but with a bit of citrus and tang to it. Very light as well. The fruitiness complements the lightness of the wine very well. There are also some hints of fresh plums, cherries, and lemons, giving the wine a lot of complexity, which is something I haven’t seen too much in Argentine whites.

Overall Score: 4.0/5.0. In comparison to other Argentine Chardonnays, this should be considered more of a 4.2, though its value isn’t too great by Argentine standards.
