Castillo di Amorosa

Chardonnay
Napa Valley, California
2008

A delightful golden, wheat huge - this is a very buttery and caramel-flavored chardonnay. Very rich and sweet, and to make it even more delectable - it is exclusive to only the Castillo. You can order it online, but you won't find this in stores.

Colin: This wine is a good balance between sweet and crisp, unlike most whites - that tend to be too sweet for my taste. I would enjoy this more if it was paired with food, because without, it is very buttery. Presented well for a white wine, but I would not indulge without a pairing - recommended with swordfish.
Rating: 6 out of 10 glasses

Rachel: It may be a little on the sweet side for some, but this is right up my alley. It has a full bodied, tangy flavor when rolled around your tongue. The long, buttery finish slowly fades into a very smooth aftertaste. I definitely recommend this paired with a dessert, or a stand-alone wine for those with a sweet tooth.

Where can I buy it?
Castello di Amorosa - it is online purchases only and a six bottle minimum. We will be reviewing more Castillo wines as we drink them - including reds and roses. We both think that their wine is all around excellent - it is a little pricey, but if you have the money to spare, it's nice to know you are getting an "exclusive" bottle of wine. Not distributed to stores at all. (And don't worry, we will be reviewing less pricey bottles of wine once our Napa collection runs out).
Cost: $28.00
