Wine Details
Price:
$40.00 per bottle
Description:
The aromatic mix of floral, orange blossom, citrus, and apricot waft from your glass. The well filled out mid palate has considerable weight and is somewhat showy with its lively fruit. Rich, spicy, vanilla oak complements that considerable fruit, and hints of creamy caramel and butterscotch flan enhance the finish. A long-lived 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.
