Ferrari-Carano Vineyards & Winery Chardonnay 2011

A delicious, medium-bodied wine with aromas and flavors of Meyer lemon, pears, green apple, peach, marshmallow, fig and brown sugar. A wine with bright fruit and nice acidity, the Tre Terre Chardonnay has nutmeg, creamy butter and oak spice nuances that linger on the finish.

This gentle, balanced and very fine wine displays consummate artistry in winemaking. It has enough fruit, oak and creaminess to satisfy that Chard craving, without any one element sticking out, and manages to be big while retaining finesse and elegance.

Aromas of orange marmalade, honeyed lemon blossoms, and baked apples emerge from the fruity, medium to full-bodied 2007 Chardonnay. It possesses fresh acidity, a heady finish, and no obvious oak. Drink it over the next 1-3 years.

Brilliant yellow-gold, with ripe, fleshy golden apple, pear, citrus and spice flavors that are focused and well-defined, ending with a dash of toasty oak. Drink now.

Firm, rich and intense, with complex guava, hazelnut, nutmeg and pear, turning dry and cedary on the finish. Drink now.

Waxy, smoky, butterscotch aromas lead to a moderately rich wine with smoky pear , creamy oak and spicy nuances. Could use a little more depth on the mid palate. Drink now through 2007.

Sleek and well-balanced, offering subtle green apple, mineral and citrus flavors that whisper delicacy and finesse. Drink now through 2012.
