Price:
$12.00 per bottle
Description:
The grapes used in the production of our 2003 Chardonnay Sonoma were grown in the Green Valley appellation of the Russian River Valley in Sonoma, CA. Winemaker's Notes: “This robust white wine is rich with apple, citrus and tropical fruit flavors. The “nose” or aroma shows hints of vanilla, tangerine, and passion fruit. A well balanced, sophisticated, Sonoma County Chardonnay.”

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.
