Chardonnay Napa Valley

Chardonnay Napa Valley Wine Details
Price: $28.00 per bottle

Description: This wine is really two wines in one; half of the wine was fermented in oak to give it richness, butteriness and complexity, while the other half was fermented very cold to retain the lovely “fruit” character that typifies really golden-ripe Chardonnay grapes. This combination is the perfect way to make Chardonnay. The nose is rich and complex with bright apple-fruit and more “deep” tropical-fruit and toasty oak characteristics. The smells come through in the rich-round mouth-feeling flavors. On top of the apple and tropical flavors there is a medley of spice notes—particularly celery-seed, cinnamon and vanilla.
