Wine Details
Price:
$36.00 per bottle
Description:
Year after year our Chardonnay continues to impress and this bottle owes its success to the atmosphere of the Russian River valley. The cool nights and brisk morning fog help the grapes secure their flavor while still maturing on the vine. Enjoy this smooth Chardonnay in front of the fireplace with a home style bowl of crab and corn chowder. Also great with fruity marinade, salad dressings, and desserts because of the big flavors of apples, peaches, melons, and pear contained inside the bottle. Savor a glass or two with our menu selection appetizer of breadcrumb and herb Stuffed Mushrooms, which marry very well with the buttery texture of this wine.

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.
