Wine Details
Price:
$17.00 per bottle
Description:
2004 INOX exhibits fresh fruit virtually jumping out of the glass, with bright yellow and green apple aromas and flavors, punctuated with melon, lemon and lime. The wine is light melon-yellow through the clear glass bottle, has good weight and zings with a good acid structure. A very good white vintage to showcase Dijon chardonnay fruit characteristics.

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.
