2007 Estate Chardonnay
|
|
Cool breezes from the San Francisco Bay insured a long “hang-time” for our mountain vineyards allowing the grapes to mature to perfection. Harvesting this Estate Chardonnay concluded in just under a month running the beginning of September through September 27th. The full bodied Estate Chardonnay is a very versatile wine being rounded by eight months in new French oak barrels with sur-lie aging yet still crispy as a result of light fining and filtration. A delightful canary hue and vibrant aromas of honeysuckle and tropical fruits welcome you. They are followed by a refreshing Chardonnay that is striking by itself as an aperitif wine or accompanying food. Be confident in pairing this wine with your culinary delights. This wine was ready to enjoy when released and should continue to drink beautifully for four to six years. |
