Description:
Full-bodied and complex with a slight oak impression and a well-balanced acidity, these attributes are coupled to a rich creaminess that follows through to the finish. The wine was 100% barrel fermented in French and American oak barrels (50% new) and allowed to partially (approximately 50%) complete Malo-lactic fermentation. Serve with Pork Chops, mashed potatoes and grilled asparagus.

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.
