Wine Details
Price:
$25.00 per bottle
Description:
The wine has the aromas of poached pears covered with crème anglais, with hints of caramel and hazelnuts. On the palate the wine is medium to full-bodied with a rich, oily texture. The flavors are of pears with hints of butterscotch and butter on the finish. This wine would be best served very slightly chilled, and will peak within the next two years. Serve with scallops in white sauce, chicken, and fettuccine Alfredo, to name a few dishes.

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.
