Chardonnay

Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $26.00 per bottle

Description: Hues of sun-kissed daffodils and straw dipped in honeyed amber. Gleeful aromas of orange blossom, pineapple slice and other delicate citrus, a dash of ginger, and a note of something exotic that we can’t quite put our collective fingers on, perhaps cumquat, perhaps clementine.. Flavors are of green apple, candied orange and a modest hint of butterscotch swirl in the background, leading to a coyly voluptuous finish. Seize the moment! Grapes: barrel fermented from fruit of the Carmody McKnight vineyards in the hills west of Paso Robles. Aged: 30 months or so in barrel. Ageability: the 1992 vintage Chardonnay is still going strong, so who knows.
