NEW WINE!!! Beacon Hill Chardonnay 2008


From the web-site: The precocious, seductive little sister to our Leo's Block Chard is a charmer from the get-go. Zingier and more straightforward than the Leo's Block, it bursts onto the palate like a light, all bustling, lithe flavors of Bosc pears and lime blossoms. No heavy-handed butterscotch here: it's all about the fruit in this wine. The finish is super-clean, with mouth-cleansing acidity that had us all craving some fresh seafood - not too hard when our site is a mere thirty-five miles or so from the sea!

From your wine specialist: This wine is amazing! The fruit is exploding on the tongue, hinting at acidity and making me want more. The pear is so present that this would pair nicely with any white sauce and pasta, even light cheeses and crackers. As I am writing I am drinking this without food and it's fabulous! Crisp and clean, you can drink this now or give it a few years. The acid gives it time to age. You simply must try this! Our main wine buyer, Bear Dalton scores this as a 95!! I agree!
