title: La Fenêtre 2008 À Côté Chardonnay (Santa Barbara County)
description: Shows the ripe pineapple fruit, acidity, minerality and above all sweet, smoky oak that mark a rich California Chardonnay. But there's something off. Hard to say exactly what, but it's in the taste. Like a smattering of mold or shriveled grapes that's off-putting.
variety: Chardonnay
designation: À Côté
