Wine Details
Price:
$27.00 per bottle
Description:
The exceptional 2004 growing season produced this very graceful and well balanced wine. Aromas of peach, apricot, melon, lemon zest and vanilla swirl from the glass. One hundred percent malolactic fermentation, this beautiful wine is rich and long yet fresh and crisp. If you can resist drinking it now, it should age nicely for five to ten years.

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.
