Wine Details
Price:
$18.00 per bottle
Description:
The 2001 Chardonnay is a floral wine, with aromas of caramel, apple, honey, peach, pineapple and orange blossoms. It is very well balanced, smooth, rich, and easy on the palate with flavors of apple, peach and butter. The finish is creamy and has a hint of butterscotch. We have found some of our friends who are not white wine drinkers even enjoy this chardonnay! May we suggest pairing this wine with bruschetta, Caesar salad, chicken, fish or your favorite pesto recipe!

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.
