Pfeiffer 2009 Chardonnay

It takes a while to work through these things, but we've got to the point where there was just this one and a 2010 Viognier left out of the Autumn Pfeiffer C2 Club offering. Either would've gone with tonight's roast chicken, but I thought that the Chardonnay might be a better match for last night's Rangoon Lime Chicken, so that was the way it went.

If I wasn't looking at boxes on the floor where boxes oughtn't be, I might have been tempted by the Winter Pack they're offering in the C3 option:

2009 Pfeiffer Marsanne
2010 Pfeiffer Winemakers Selection Malbec (2 bottles)
2005 Pfeiffer Christopher's VP
2006 Pfeiffer Chardonnay Museum Release
2009 Pfeiffer Carlyle Shiraz (2 bottles) Museum Release
2008 Pfeiffer Merlot Museum Release
2006 Pfeiffer Cabernet Sauvignon Museum Release
2008 Pfeiffer Shiraz Museum Release
1992 Pfeiffer Shiraz Cabernet Museum Release
1992 Pfeiffer Christopher's VP Museum Release

But, as stated, there's a slight surfeit in the LHoC at the moment, and I'm looking seriously at an order from Cullens in the near future, so something's got to give. The order needed to go in by Bastille Day, so....

Pfeiffer 2009 Chardonnay (4* $18.50 C2 $16.65) Straw green, nose noticeably subdued at first (note to self: don't taste straight out of the fridge) but across the palate worked rather nicely in the lighter tightly wound New Oz style and had me tossing up between ratings, but eventually rounded down rather than up. Already gone from the website (they're currently offering the '10) and given imminent orders I doubt I'll be looking in that direction in the near future.
