2014 Mt. Beautiful Chardonnay for $23/bottle (or FREE for first time buyers!) but only 2.51% of the offer, ie 97%+ are UPGRADES!!
Winemaker Notes:
2014 was a good but cool vintage for Chardonnay in North Canterbury. Our hand-picked Chardonnay fruit was gently whole bunch pressed. The resulting juice was separated into two portions, a cloudy portion and a slightly less cloudy one. These were both fermented, and then aged on yeast lees in a variety of different French oak barrels and tank. The barrels went through a partial malolactic ferment. The batches were blended in January and then lightly fined and filtered prior to bottling.
Tasting Notes:
With aromatics of ripe apple, stone fruits, and nectarines, our Chardonnay has a creamy texture that makes it easy to drink. Medium bodied with underlying notes of buttered brioche and nectarine confit, it finishes clean and crisp with a lovely persistent flint like minerality.
This is what you might be upgraded to:
2009 Coche-Dury Meursault White Burgundy 750ML valued at $675/bottle at the winery (only 0.28% of the offered bottles)
Accolades: 92 pts.- Vinous: “Vibrant aroma of orange oil. Sweet, opulent and very ripe but with terrific verve to the soft citrus flavors. Superb village Meursault with lovely minerality giving grip to the long, fresh finish.”
Winemaker Notes: Coche believes strongly that the white wines of Burgundy should have nerve, and his are never among the ripest or highest in alcohol of his colleagues. It is their vibrant acidity, often hidden in the opulence that helps them to age so successfully and predictably. Though their bottlings are extremely limited, any chance to taste the wines of Coche-Dury promises a rare glimpse into some of the greatest vineyard management and winemaking in the world.
You have a very high chance ~ 2/3 of bottles are upgraded to:
2013 Hailstone Restoration Russian River Valley Chardonnay 750ML valued at $38/bottle at the winery (67.04% of the offered bottles)
Winemaker Notes: Visually it possess light straw color, with stunning clarity. On the nose, this wine leans more towards the old world in style. It has a mid-pallet with just enough opulence, but driven with bright acidity and clean mouthfeel. When served at the proper room temperature, the new world wine lover will get the unctuous mouthfeel they desire, while the Burgundian fan will draw that Granny Smith green apple profile they are looking for. Pairing Suggestions: Enjoy with lobster or any shellfish. Pairs especially well with spicy fare. 89% CHARDONNAY & 11% SAUVIGNON BLANC
Pay $23 for a $38 bottle, that is a 65% value increase!
Or ~3/10 chance of this upgrade:
2013 Deering Santa Barbara County Grenache Blanc 750ML valued at $50/bottle at the winery (30.17% of the offered bottles)
Aromas of strawberry-red cherry compote, brewed Chinese black tea leaves and nutmeg. On the palate are dried cranberries soaked in black tea, garam masala.
Pay $23 for a $50 bottle, that is a 217% value increase!
Good luck if participating!
