Description:
“...a bright and lively Chardonnay, this wine reflects the perfect growing conditions in the Applegate Valley. Lemon, green apple and mineral notes have moderate intensity that persists on the tangy finish. Light, refined, and appealing, it offers bright citrus and flinty aromas that are focused by vibrant, crisp acidity. Balanced and straightforward, this wine is perfect for oysters or shellfish.“

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.
