Clara Benegas 2009

Bottle of Clara Benegas

Clara Benegas 2009
Blend:  Chardonnay 70% + Sauvignon Blanc 30%
Mendoza, Argentina
10.95 USD

Elaborated with grapes from vineyards located in the province of Mendoza.  This delicious, natural, young and fresh wine is a result of the careful control of the vineyard and the morning harvest of the over ripened chardonnay grapes (Vintage Cellar)

With a strange floral base that I could not pinpoint it had an interesting vegetal undertone.  There were some fruits hidden in the back ground but nothing popped out.  It was very underwhelming nose wise.  It was crisp and interestingly citrusy on the palate that was off set by the almost buttery creaminess of some California
chardonnays.  It didn't have much of any heat on it except at the tail end and the
aftertaste reminded me of olives.
