San Pedro 2008 Castillo de Molina Reserva Chardonnay (Casablanca Valley)

Country: Chile / Castillo de Molina Reserva
Variety: Chardonnay Casablanca Valley
Winery: San Pedro /

More oaky and resiny than in prior years, with a strong, undeniable scent of sawdust. This suggests faux-oak aging via tank staves, which results in a textured but resiny wine that lacks fresh fruit. Too much like a tour through the sawmill.
