Mt. Oso Chardonnay

Mt. Oso Chardonnay Wine Details
Price: $16.00 per bottle

Description: Picked whole cluster, barrel fermented in French and Hungarian oak, and aged sur lies for 10 months. The wine underwent no malolactic fermentation, preserving the crisp acidity and fresh fruitiness of the grapes. Lush, tropical aromas of ripe banana, pear, citrus, honey, and a hint of hazelnut are set off by a trace of toasty oak on the nose. Tropical fruits erupt on the palate. An enticing blend of lemon, banana, pineapple, and passion fruit are balanced by a subtle vanilla and almond finish. An exceptionally smooth and elegant wine that evolves gracefully to a delicate refined finish. Enjoy slightly chilled. Bronze Medal ~ 2004 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition
