Wine Details
Price:
$27.00 per bottle
Description:
The 2004 vintage in Northern California is already becoming celebrated for its Chardonnay. The growing season enjoyed an early start, free of frost or rain. Then a long cool summer and a succession of beautifully warm weeks in late August and early September fully ripened the crop. Grapes for our Carneros bottling come from the Sangiacomo Kiser Vineyard, just west of Sonoma; the neighboring Yamakawa vineyard; and one of the lower elevation parcels on the El Novillero Vineyard, in the hills at the western limit of the Carneros appellation. The soil is rich with clay. The vigorous, wild yeast fermentation makes for a wine that is loaded with tropical fruit, but that long buttery finish is equally attractive.
