Coriolis (Antica Terra) Chardonnay

Apple, pear and citrus. Modest secondary notes. Fresh and light, maybe a good Chardonnay for fish.

Straw gold with a tight fruit aroma (likely opened too cold), and a bit flabby on first sip. But once it opened up, it mellowed out and complimented some salmon with orzo quite nicely. Overall have enjoyed the Coriolis wines that I've had thus far, and this keeps up the trend.

Nose: pineapple, buttered bagel, stone fruit, lemon, not super expressive Taste: med + acid; smooth, round, med body; stone fruit, lemon, pineapple, tropical fruit - a lot of yellow/tropical fruits, minerals, wet gravel Nice texture and mouthfeel but lacking complexity and depth on the nose and taste. Might need some age or more air.

Method: pop and pour; Riedel Oregon Pinot/Chard glass; 54 degrees Look: pale yellow-gold Nose: light banana, lemon meringue, minerality/salinity/sea shell?; better nose as it warms Palate: lemon, rocks, something bitter, minerals; long- finish of lemon, white pepper, some bitter note, sharp salt, minerals; bone dry; medium body; high acidity, which I feel on my tongue after the finish; seems higher in alcohol but not quite hot Overall thoughts: This is simple and linear. The wine is not in balance with …

Enters with a knife edge of herbal salinity, then gets a little broader on creamy but dry Granny Smith apple and mango notes. Real bang for the buck in this offering.

its ok. not really doing it for me. day 1 it was crisp with some melon and interesting enough but did not hold my attention. day 2 it was shot

Crisp, mineral for a Chardonnay. Not California style, not buttery. Good not great.

These Coriolis wines from Antica Terra are seriously mind-blowing for the prices on the secondary market. For $20 a bottle on Last Bottle, this blows anything else away in the price range from Oregon (in Pinot and Chardonnay).

​Pale gold, touches of green. Nose: Cool vanilla creme, light white flower, touches of butter. Mouth: Honeydew melon and green almond come through just ahead of light poached pear notes on a glassy sheen of oak, as elegant washes of lime zest, white pepper, and triple sec fill in. Juicy and clean overall, with a lightly steely edge on the finish, this has excellent character and nuance to the layers of flavors within it. Drink now - 2026. 92.

I rarely find new world whites that meets my personal tasting preferences, but this did the trick. This is beyond a beautiful wine for the price point. If tasting blind, I would have guessed village, and maybe even 1er, Montrachet. Lemon curd, yellow apple, honeysuckle, and a floral lift complete this rich mouth feel, but not oaky wine. Balanced and fresh, this is quite a delight. Best served a little warmer at 60 deg F. Was fairly mute at 55 …
