"The 2011 Chardonnay is brighter and more focused than the 2010 tasted alongside it, mostly because of the cool weather. Lemon, crushed rocks, spices and white flowers all come to life in the glass. The 2011 was partially done in steel (15%) and the malo was not fully completed, two choices that show Pride moving towards a fresher, more vibrant style of Chardonnay. I have to say, the 2011 is superb."
