Wine Details
Price:
$16.00 per bottle
Description:
This full-bodied wine greets you with a pleasant perfume of honey and apple. The nose carries through on the palate and harmonizes with the essence of butterscotch, vanilla, and pear, finished with a gentle taste of oak. While this wine is very precocious, it will age with grace for several years. It was designed for relatively early use. It is very applicable to dining. We have received 24 consecutive years of gold medals on our Chardonnay grapes.

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.
