Alrighty – the Wine Witch contends that there is really not a lot of bad wine out there. However, here’s one we almost put down the drain last night at first, but it grew on us a tiny bit. I will allow for the possibility it had turned, but I do not think so. What hurts me even more is the Crusher is one of the Three Loose Screws labels under the Don Sebastiani & Sons empire. I usually love their wines for the price (i.e. Smooking Loon), but this is a notable exception.
Here is are the official tasting notes from the website:
“This pale golden colored wine is rich with Tahitian vanilla bean and custard notes, layered with tangerine and pear aromas. The palate has tropical notes of coconut, guava and papaya, finishing with crisp red delicious apple and baked apple pie flavors.”
What I got was wood chips and burnt vanilla with a bitter edge. Sorry folks - 2007 The Crusher Chardonnay is not one to recommend.
