Balletto Vineyards

Balletto Vineyards This is the first vintage for our Laguna Oaks Vineyards & Winery. As grape growers first, we strongly feel that with good grapes comes good wine. It all starts in the field. Our grapes are handpicked and we use only French barrels from a variety of barrel makers. In addition, all of our wines go through malolactic fermentation. With the help of consulting wine maker Dan Cederquist, we feel we have produced an excellent representation of Russian River Valley Chardonnay, Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, Russian River Zinfandel and Sonoma Coast Pinot Gris.

  2001 Balletto Estate Chardonnay
The 2001 Chardonnay is a floral wine, with aromas of caramel, apple, honey, peach, pineapple and orange blossoms. It is very well balanced, smooth, rich, and easy on the palate with flavors of apple, peach and butter. The finish is creamy and has a hint of butterscotch. We have found some of our friends who are not white wine drinkers even enjoy this chardonnay! May we suggest pairing this wine with bruschetta, Caesar salad, chicken, fish or your favorite pesto recipe!
