Block UU-Bien Nacido Vineyard Chardonnay 2014

Ming L
9.0

Juicy nose of green apple, dried chrysanthemum, pineapple, and subtle vanilla on the nose. Rich and dense, almost oily, on the palate, but not heavy. Round acidity laced with mint. Energetic and well balanced. — 6 years ago

Bien Bien Santa Maria Chardonnay

A favorite winery of mine... This one needs a little more bottle age, or a splash decant... A muted nose opened to crisp honeycomb apple, ginger root, and a toasty brioche character. Feels like bit of lees influence too. Round, layered, and soft on the palate with yellow apple, pear and melon rind. Bright acidity shines on the mid-palate with a limestone crouch to the finish. Hold this for a few more years. — 7 years ago

I’m not thrilled that you gave hs a higher score than the true believer. Typo? However, my team and I did grow the grapes for this wine, so I guess I would rather lose to my friend, Mr. From than someone else. I humbly concede.

@Hammell We will have to open a '13 TB soon to do a proper comparison

Longoria

Bien Nacido Vineyard Block N Pinot Noir 2015

A wonderful expression of spice, earth, smoke and brush in this medium-bodied, but intensely flavorful wine. Fruit plays a secondary role, with subtle flavors of raspberry and blueberry. — 6 years ago
