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.
