Description:
Sourced from the famed Simoneau Ranch vineyard in Sonoma County’s Alexander Valley. Brilliant Yellow-gold in color with overtones of honeyed- caramel-crème brulee in the nose. In the mouth balanced Chardonnay fruit leads to nutty flavors from toasted French oak barrels with a smooth and elegant finish. A superb wine with Halibut, Chilean Seabass or linguini & clams.

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.
