Wine Details
Price:
$26.00 per bottle
Description:
The last vintage of this legendary chardonnay!
Pear, ripe apple and hints of citrus and butterscotch are prevalent on the nose of this gorgeous wine.
The palate is a well balanced combination of citrus, pear and ripe apple as well as elements of pineapple
and butter. This rich, opulent chardonnay has been a favorite of critic and consumer alike over the years.
We will miss working with the fruit from this grand vineyard.

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.
