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

[92 pts Wine Spectator] A rich creamy yet elegant wine with a seamless mix of ripe pear apple and creamy toasty oak flavors that provide a nice balance between fruit and oak. Has a long persistent finish. Drink now through 2012. 3500 cases made.

Reviews

Vinfolio

The 2006 vintage is classically proportioned, made by long-time winemaker, Phillip Carallo-Titus. Built on a framework of ripe, pure fruit - pear, lemon and mineral aromatics - the palate shows off seductive spice characteristics along with a lush mid-palate of creamy pear and baked citrus tart.

Rich, lush and layered, this enticing Chardonnay begins with toasty, baked pear and quince aromatics, accentuated by hints of tropical fruit and delicate floral notes. A touch of creaminess blends seamlessly with elements of clove and nutmeg spice from the oak. With a sweet, coating mouthfeel, sumptuous flavors of baked apple, pear and citrus, and a long, ripe fruit and spicy French oak finish, this wine is drinking beautifully now, and will continue to develop further richness and complexity over the next three to five years.
