Zephyr Chardonnay 2014 Marlborough
Glover Family Vineyards
Familiar bouquet of orchard fruits and vanilla scented  - roasted stone fruit and ripe grape fruit, light toasty oak offering a gentle smoke and vanilla pod scents; moderate complexity. On the palate - youthful, firm, dry; oak flavours first then orchard fruits follow; some citrus and stone fruit flavours emerge last, medium+ acidity, noticeable oak toasty moments and medium to medium+ weight; some leesy almost lactic tones add texture and complexity. Overall a tasty wine showing its youthful side. Decant for service or cellar for another 1-3 years at least. A wine with potential.89 Points
