Description:
Our 2003 Chardonnay strikes a perfect balance between fruit, acidity, and oak. Perfect for warm nights by the pool or as an accompaniment with food, this Chardonnay exhibits notes of pineapple, butterscotch, and citrus. We retained the fruitiness of the Chardonnay grape and simultaneously balanced that with voluptuous layers of vanilla & oak. A meticulous blend of tank & barrel fermentation and aging, the wine imparts fruit and crispness complimented with complex layers of oak.

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.
