Nose: Freshly cut apple, hints of vanilla, the Zinfandel has a big influence with spicy tannic oak. Palate: Pear, dry white wine, oak, some barrel spice. Finish: Dry walnutty finish, the spices trail off. Orchard fruits linger on the aftertaste. Notes: As an A-B comparison to regular Green Spot there's an additional musty spiciness to the Chateau on the nose. The palate on the regular Green Spot has none of the spice present in Chateau. The Chateau also carries a heavier body, the regular is very light.
