Top Value Chardonnay Tasted 2/14

2. Jacob's Creek Chardonnay Barossa Valley (2012)

« Prev Next » 2 of 5

Average price: $12.²⁵ from 12 stores

Earthy, twiggy, and savory on the nose with lots of almost herb tinged complexity though not a lot of fruit. Bright, lean and fresh in the mouth, which is much like the nose: built on savoury complexity though here one also finds subtle caramel oak notes and shades of apples and melon fruit. It’s a wine that shows restraint and textural nuance right through the fairly long, heather and preserved, salted lemon tinged finish. A real change of pace from fruit forward Chardonnays and a wine that is easily misunderstood. This has attractive subtlety and real, savory complexity. 88pts
