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.

Our 1996 Canoe Ridge Estate Chardonnay offers generous aromas of pear, green apple and citrus augmented with notes of butter and toasty oak. On the palate, I find just enough spice to add length. Rich and silky, this is a well-balanced wine characterized by a beautiful integration of fruit and oak.
