Wine Details
Price:
$35.00 per bottle
Description:
Both in aroma and flavor, this rich and full-bodied Chardonnay is an easy crowd pleaser. But don’t let that fool you — it’s got much more than shiny chrome and a nice paint job. Pop open the hood and you’ll discover lively lemon-lime, custard and butterscotch that promise a bright and smooth ride from start to finish. What about acidity? We’re happy to report that you’ll find a crisp streak of the blessed stuff to lure you from one sip to the next. As with our last vintage, this bottling can cruise solo or park itself at the dinner table and feel right at home.

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.
