This is a well extracted, rich style of Chardonnay. It has a good amount of fruit and is of excellent value. It is probably stainless steel fermented.There is some bottle variance here, as I just had one that I would rate an 83. It was much less fruit forward than the first bottle. My rating--- 83--87

Cupcake Chardonnay was crafted to emphasize the Central Coast's creamy and structured Chardonnay character. It starts off with a touch of apple, a hint of tropical fruits and is complimented by a balance of vanilla and spice. We used malolactic fermentation with aging in small barrels to provide a rich mid palate that develops into a long, smooth, satisfying finish.

We work hard to bring you the biggest, richest Chardonnay from California's desirable Central Coast, where the sun drenched grapes create full and elegantly-textured wines. Decadent levels of butter, cream, bright citrus and vanilla melt into a balance of oak and subtle spice. In other words: Delicious. Serve chilled with crab cakes, seared Ahi tuna on waffle crackers or fresh-baked French bread and cheese. - Winery

Cupcake Vineyards wines were introduced from California s Central Coast and represented a finely crafted, fruit-forward, indulgent and eminently approachable style of wine. Cupcake Vineyards encourages everyone to Live Deliciously.

Winemaker's Notes:

Our Chardonnay was crafted to emphasize the Central Coast’s crisp and vibrant Chardonnay character. We use a malolactic fermentation and then leave the wine sur lie to create a wine that is both rich, full, creamy, toasty, and soft. Premium Fermentation Techniques Barrel Fermentation — By using this process of fermentation it creates a more controlled environment for the wine where the flavors become more harmonized. It also enhances the golden Chardonnay colors, adds a creamy texture, and provides subtle toasty oak and spice flavors to the finished wine. Malolactic Fermentation — This process, where the malic acid is altered by natural means into lactic acid, reduces the wine’s acidity and imparts a buttery, rich flavor to the wine. Aging Technique — Aged for 9 months in premium American oak barrels adding richness and complexity to the wine.
