Price:
$18.00 per bottle
Description:
Now this is my kind of Chard, with lush textures, but also great balance and Burgundy-like class. Trust me this is a very serious wine and one you should try by all means. With round focused flavors of apple, pear, and a touch of hazelnut that just lingers on in the background of this impressive white. The finish is pure and fresh with hints of mineral and a creamy vanilla note that holds on long enough to make most people smile! Get this wonderful Chardonnay time to open up and you'll be rewarded with even richer flavors.

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.
