What to Expect

Chardonnay is America's most popular grape and with good reason. Made in styles that range from steely, mineral laced wines with crisp green apple fruit to wines that are buttery, rich, and laden with tropical fruits, there is a Chardonnay that will appeal to every palate. Chardonnay is most closely associated with France's Burgundy region and California's Northern valleys though it has proven successful around the globe.

Winemakers Notes

Don�t miss this rare opportunity to own a few bottles of the �Reserve� bottling of the most popular Chardonnay in Napa! WINEMAKER TASTING NOTES: �This layered, complex wine is marked by intense varietal aromas of white, citrus and tropical fruits offset by spicy, toasty notes which are confirmed on the palate, supported by a firm structure and rich, buttery texture.� LIMIT 6 bottles per client (sorry, no exceptions)!

Serves up an appealing mix of earthy citrus, ripe pear and green apple flavors that are well-focused and unobstructed by oak. Finishes with a rich, clean aftertaste. Drink now through 2009. 25,000 cases made. -JL Wine Spectator. A Chardonnay wine from California in USA. 2005 Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay Reserve 750ml

Wine Tasting NotesThis distinctive Reserve Chardonnay is light gold in color with a rich aromatic complexity suggestive of baked apple, vanilla spice and lemon with a hint of oak. On the palate, flavors of white peaches and ripe tropical melon are supported by a lively and engaging interplay of fruit acids. The finish is long and satisfying, accented by notes of vanilla.

What can I say? I'm a red girl who loves her Cakebread Chardonnay. It's probably my second favorite white wine. When it's 92 degrees and a red just will not do ... pull this baby out. It will not dissapoint.

This much loved and sought after Chardonnay is full of bright Granny Smith apple notes that marry with warm spice and a buttery texture. Take one home for a special occasion and see what all the fuss is about.
