Who makes a creamy/buttery wine?

Question

Columbia Crest Grand Estates chardonnay changed their yeast, so the new vintage doesn't have the buttery taste that I love so much.

La Crema chardonnay is pretty good, but I need an alternative to them in case they change their formula.

I have tried (and am not impressed) with the following wines:

Kendall Jackson
Chateau St. Michelle
Yellow Tail
Beringer
Sutter Home

I live in Los Angeles, so I can get any wine.

Ok... perfect question. I am a pretty big wine enthusiast who lives in Nor Cal and I travel to Napa regularly. I have only found one decent Chard that I can count on to enjoy time and time again and can bring to parties, events, social gatherings where people constantly are amazed how good the wine is. Rombauer Vineyards' 2005 Carneros Chardonnay, available at any BevMo, is the best... It really has that buttery/creamy taste... not bitter in any way. It does cost around $30/bottle. Don't worry, it costs $29.25 at the winery. It's one of those wines that I have opened at room temp and it still tastes great. Try it once...
I am actually a big Zin drinker and love Amador County (Sierra Foothills) Zins and not a big Chard person, but I am sold on this one... Find out more here. Oh yeah, its rated at 93 points.

Cambria Katherine's Vineyard Chardonnay

Answer 4

In Spain, it is called albarino.

In Portugal, it is called alvarinho.

Either way, this white wine can have a creamy texture that is very complex.




Albarino tends to be fresh and vibrant tasting, often with a spritzy taste in the mouth. Tasters compared it to a combination of sauvignon blanc and a very dry Riesling. The fruit tends to be peaches, apricot, melon and citrus.

This grape does not age well in the bottle. You should drink it within a couple of years.

I asked the wine-tasting group to compare two albarinos from Spain and one alvarinho from Portugal.

Here is what they found:

• 2001 Morgadio Albarino at $18.99. This wine had a nice nose, smelling lean (not as much fruit). In the aroma, we found grass, green melon and melon rinds. It had a lot of citrus on the finish. Tasters thought it should make a great spring luncheon wine. This wine ranked second in our tasting.

• 2001 Valminor Albarino at $15.99. This wine had a lot of bubbles in the glass. The aroma was floral with peaches and honeydew melon. In the mouth, it was tongue-tickling with its effervescence, but it was very dry. It was bright with a lingering finish. Tasters thought it would pair great with tuna salad. This wine was more complex than the others. It finished first in our tasting.

• 2001 Varanda do Conde Vino Verde (Alvarinho) at $10.99. This wine had a grassy aroma, with pleasant smells of wet hay and wet stones. It was fresh and vibrant. It was very dry and tart on the finish, with lots of lemon. The finish, though, was rather short.

Surfing the wine shelves

• 2001 Antonin Rodet Chablis at $14.99. The aroma was full of fresh citrus fruit and a hint of minerals. On the palate, we found grapefruit with some lemon on the crisp finish.

• 1999 Trapiche Malbec at $10. This wine smelled of blackberries and raspberries. Wood and vanilla joined the fruit flavors in the mouth. It had a luscious smoothness and a full body.

• 2000 Santa Julia Malbec Reserva at $10. Tart red cherries with hints of cedar and leather were noticeable in this wine's aroma. In the mouth, blackberry and other dark fruit tastes appeared. It also had strong tannins, which would make this wine a suitable companion to a robust cheese or a good steak.

Answer 5

The regular Kendall Jackson isn't much, but if you find their reserve chardonnay, *that* is very nice and buttery. Bogle also makes a nice chardonnay, but not quite up to the KJ reserve.
