Heron Chardonnay California(2002)

Just the right time in French oak underscores the lushness yet clean, fruit-driven wine. I fermented about half of the wine in new, one and two year-old oak barrels and the other portion in stainless steel. The oak imparts just a hint of soft vanilla while the stainless steel allows the bright California fruit to shine crisply through. The combination creates a harmonious, well-balanced wine. Enjoy

Heron Chardonnay is a blend of grapes carefully chosen from three vineyards in cool growing areas: Russian River, Carneros and Santa Maria. The wine opens with aromas of lush pear, peach and citrus, reveals intense weight on the palate that is tempered by a refreshing crispness all leading to a lengthy finish of light toasty vanilla.
