Description:
Sweet, gentle aromas of fresh apricots, wildflowers, clover honey, toasty oak and vanilla. The palate is soft at entry, very rich and full, with bright apricot and fresh orange juice flavors which melt into a warm, buttery/creamy finish. Cinnamon and nutmeg tones balance the toasty oak character. This Chardonnay was hand-harvested from a vineyard at the very edge of San Pablo Bay, in the coldest part of Carneros. It is entirely made from the Dijon 76 clone of Chardonnay. The fruit was whole-cluster pressed and fermented in 100% French Oak, of which 75% was new. The wine was kept sur-lie for 10 months, with battonage (lees stirring) for the first 6 months. All of the wine has undergone complete malolactic fermentation.
