Wine Details
Price:
$36.00 per bottle
Description:
Year after year, this is one of our most popular wines- our 16th vintage of this cuvee. This is a blend of several superior Napa Valley vineyards showing the classic proportions of the appellation. There are aromas of peach pie, pineapple and orange zest. The 2003 Napa Valley has bright ripe flavors of apple, lemon curd and crème brulee and finishes with hints of white chocolate, lychee and nutmeg.

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.
