Has anyone tried the 1999 Leeuwin Margaret River Art Series Chardonnay? This is an expensive chardonnay but I haven't heard anyone say anything bad about it. Is it in league with the Kistlers, Pahlmeyers, etc...of chards?

Merris,

I have not had it, but based on what I have read on the Vinocellar.com site it is in the same league as some of the Kistlers. What is the cost of this wine in your neck of the woods?

Life without wine?...... Yeah Right.<br /><br />I believe we have 2 lives; the life we learn with and the life we live with after that.

Hi Merris,

Leeuwin makes absolutely fantastic Chardonnays. I tried the 97 a few week ago and it was superb. Jump on the 99 as it is a very well made wine. I expect you should pay approximately 50.00us and it will easily measure up to products selling at twice the price.

Their Cabernet Art Series is also great. The 99 vintage in Margaret River is probably the best ever for cabs.
Cheers,

Francois

The best price I have seen for this wine is about $58.

Hi Merris,

For $58.00 it is still worth purchasing. Try one and then decide.

Cheers,
