Wine Details
Price:
$16.00 per bottle
Description:
The wine has a pale yellow color with an aroma that is buttery with light oak toast and layers of ripe apples, dry hay and a touch of floral notes. The flavors are round and soft and also display the ripe apples, with some toasty oak, light buttery character and a combination of dry hay and hazelnuts from the middle to the finish. The wine has a good acidity to handle food, it is round and sweet to start, then the acidity brings forward a drier component that carries the long finish.

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.
