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

Harvest discounts apply to orders totalling 6 bottles or more (mix 'n match okay). Winemaker Notes Geoff farms our Chardonnay in the breezy Carneros District where the cooling bay fog added to the effect of the long ripening season yielding small, intensely flavored clusters. Following harvest the first week of October, he fermented half the juice in oak for roundness and richness and the other half in stainless steel for vibrant fruit character. He brought the two together to create a fresh style of great complexity and vitality. A bright perfume of green apple, sweet vanilla, pineapple read more...and spice anticipates lively flavors of Asian pear, Meyer lemon and toasty oak. The creamy, lingering finish is the mark of several months of aging sur lies. Food Suggestions The crisp acidity makes our Chardonnay very versatile at the table. Geoff loves it with Colleen's recipe for Salmon Cakes with Lemon Herb Aioli. "Salmon is a classic with Chardonnay and Colleen's aioli sauce has just the right amount of lemon to bring out the citrus notes in the wine. It's a great combination!" Enjoy the Chardonnay with everything from sautéed shellfish to roast pork loin or pasta with cream sauce. It's an easy-going partner for a wide variety of cheeses. The tasting room staff loves it with Gruyere or a bit of Brie at the end of the day. Cheers! Click on the Download icon to download a clean copy of this Winemaker Note.
