Chardonnay, Dry Creek Valley

Reserve Chardonnay, Dry Creek Valley Wine Details
Price: $24.00 per bottle

Description: The best barrels from our estate vineyard Chardonnay were handpicked to produce the 2002 Dry Creek Valley Reserve. Lemon, pear, and tropical fruit aromas along with spicy cinnamon and brown sugar dominate the nose of this wine. The fruit and spice flavors follow through in the mouth, while barrel aging for 16 months in French Oak give toasty, smoky notes. Malolactic fermentation and lees stirring two times per month lend a creamy rich texture and long finish. Only 346 cases produced.
