Description:
This Chardonnay is silky and rich with fresh aromas of golden delicious apple, pear, white peach and honey accented by hints of cinnamon, clove and a mineral, seashell component. A framework of crisp natural acidity gives way to a swell of silkiness toward the finish. The excellent structure and well-defined fruit character ensure this will be 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.
