- Rich lemon curd and spice aromas introduce spicy, ripe pear and complex tropical fruit flavors. Finishes lush and long, with toasted walnut and vanilla accents. Ready to drink now and over the next year or two.

- Byron 1999 Chardonnay Nielson Vineyard clearly and elegantly expresses the unique character of these old vines and the esteemed Wente clone to which they are planted. Bright aromas of lush green and gold apples, jasmine and cinnamon spice are accented by nuances of French oak. The flavor profile features ripe, concentrated fruit, spice and floral touches with a rich, silky texture and supporting natural acidity. The finesse, breed and balance of this wine ensure graceful aging and exceptional development of flavor and complexity. Alcohol: 13.8%
