Bob Cabral Wines, Cuvee Anne Rose Chardonnay Vintage:2016 reminded me of Casanova di

reminded me of Casanova di Neri’s Cerretalto Brunello (made with grapes grown at the opposite end of the Montalcino territory)

This feels very lively and energetic

This is sufficiently accessible that it should be approachable young but allow for longer-term aging too if desired

There is a hint of herbal tea present on the more deeply pitched nose of dark currant

The understated and equally refined medium weight flavors don’t possess the same power

Bob Cabral Wines, Cuvee Anne Rose Chardonnay Vintage:2016 reminded me of Casanova diThe 2016 Chardonnay Cuve Anne Rose has nuanced aromas of apricot, beeswax, lemon verbena, lime peel and meringue with integrated flinty tones. The medium bodied palate boasts an excellent balance of linear acidity and powerful, honeyed fruit, with a very long, nuanced finish. It has the layers, energy and satiny texture to develop gracefully in bottle over the next decade.
