Chardonnay, Sonoma County

Chardonnay, Sonoma County Wine Details
Price: $29.00 per bottle

Description: Richard Arrowood compares the 2003 Sonoma County Chardonnay to the 1987 vintage, which matured into an exceptional bottle of wine. Bright fruit flavors of green apple, melon and peach are complemented by crisp, racy acid notes. Because the fruit is grown in a relatively cool climate, we guided it through barrel and malolactic fermentation to balance out the crisp acids and give the wine a rich and creamy texture. Sur lies aging and stirring in French oak barrels adds hints of toasty oak and spice to the final blend.
