Description:
Citrus and green apple flavors come to the front with mineral and subtle oak notes. This medium full-bodied wine is rich and yet very firm in texture. Excellent aging potential.
“Though none of this wine underwent the softening of malolactic fermentation, being barrel fermented and aged on the lees gives it a richness and complexity. Likely to age gracefully for five or six more years. ” - California Wine and Food

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.
