Wine Details
Price:
$16.99 per bottle
Description:
Our 2008 Estate Grown Chardonnay showcases the purity of fruit we believe can only be achieved through organic growing methods. The clarity displayed in it’s golden color leads to beautiful aromatics in the nose. Complex yet well balanced with a touch of oak. The mid-palate is a creamy blend of honey, pear and apple. The finish lingers for a long satisfying taste and the rich balance of a beautifully structured wine.

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.
