Winemaking Notes: The chardonnay in the 2003 vintage was harvested fairly late compared to the 2002 vintage. Our 2003 Napa Chardonnay is rich, complex and extractive with a nice balance. Lots of pineapples and citrus oils are combined with some minerality. The extended hang time produced a wine of great depth and richness which represents all of Pahlmeyer's efforts in making read more...a world class Chardonnay.
The whole-cluster grapes were barrel-fermented on wild yeasts and aged in 100% new French oak barrels for 11 months. The wine also progressed through 100% malolactic fermentation.
Availability: The Pahlmeyer 2003 Napa Valley Chardonnay is available beginning May 1, 2005 either directly from the winery, or through our network of fine restaurants and retail merchants around the world. (hide)
