Wine Details
Price:
$25.00 per bottle
Description:
Our 2003 Chardonnay expresses the uniqueness of the 2003 growing season. The resulting wine is a classically structured Chardonnay in both aroma and mouth feel. This Chardonnay is very stylish and reminiscent of a white Burgundy, but without that austerity that so many California Chardonnays get when they lack flavor. This wine is full of flavor. And most important, what the wine promises in the aroma it delivers exactly on the palate---as a great wine should.

Varietal Definition
Chardonnay:
Chardonnay is by far the most widely planted grape crop in California and dominates California’s cooler, coastal, quality wine regions. The natural varietal ‘taste and smell’ of Chardonnay is surprisingly unfamiliar to many wine drinkers, as its true character is often guised with dominating winemaking signatures. Chardonnay’s rather subdued primary fruit characteristics lean toward the crisp fruitiness of apples, pears and lemon, but the variety’s full body is capable of supporting a host of complementary characteristics, such as oak, butter and vanilla. Regardless of what is the appropriate style for Chardonnay, the varietal continues to dominate vineyard plantings in every corner of the world. Close attention to clonal selection has made this broad geographic and climactic range of Chardonnay viable in thoughtful viticultural hands.
