Wine Details
Price:
$14.00 per bottle
Description:
“…another lively Chardonnay from LongSword Vineyard in the Applegate Valley, this wine is a bit rounder than the 2002, reflecting the warmer growing season of 2003. Pear, lemon and mineral notes are accentuated by the tangy finish. Bright, crisp acidity focuses the bright fruit and floral aromas. Well balanced, this wine pairs perfectly with seafood and cream sauces.“

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.
