Description:
There is a time and a place for oak. With the warmth of the 2010 growing season a small block of our Chardonnay vines were left to hang a little longer which provided fuller ripeness of the fruit. We allowed this fruit to undergo a long, cool fermentation in steel but transitioned half the batch to 2 brand new French oak barrels. It finished fermentation and aged for an additional 9 months on the lees. We blended this "oaked" lot with the more fruit forward fraternal twin that stayed in stainless steel. The resulting wine is rich with caramel, vanilla, and tropical fruit aromatics and a creamy mouthfeel supported by just the right amount of acidity on the finish.
