Description:
Our 2003 Concannon Selected Vineyards Chardonnay exhibits chamomile, citrus, apricot, and toasty vanilla oak on the nose. This Chardonnay pleasantly plays with your palate. Tropical swirls of mango, pineapple, crisp citrus, and gooseberry, plus brown sugar, almond, cinnamon, nutmeg, and caramel all contribute to a rich, smooth mouthfeel. The finish offers flavors of ripe, baked apple and chalky oak, rounding out the tropical fruit. This Chardonnay is made in the true Burgundy style.

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.
