title: Geoff Merrill 1999 Reserve Chardonnay (McLaren Vale)
description: Tangy melon and citrus flavors and a steely backbone characterize Merrill's reserve Chardonnay. There's oak here—mostly present on the nutty, toasty nose—but there's not much of it rounding out the palate, which makes it feel a little disjointed. Still, a very good wine.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: Reserve
