Yarden Katzrin Chardonnay (OK Kosher) 2000

The 2000 Yarden Katzrin Chardonnay exhibits an intoxicating mixture of ripe pear and apple characters with those of banana and pineapple, all layered with nuances of butter, caramel, rich oak and warm spices.

The wine is rich and full-bodied with a long, tasty finish. While excellent now, the 2000 Yarden Katzrin Chardonnay will continue to improve for a couple of years following the harvest and should drink well up to about eight years, if stored well. We like to balance out the intense character of this Chardonnay with fairly intense foods such as Coq a Vin made with the same wine, rich fish courses, a variety of polentas, flavored with either wild mushrooms or seafood, or try with sautéed veal sweetbreads.
