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.

Clonal selections greatly influence the wine's bouquet and multi-dimensional character. Aromas of roasted hazelnuts, honey, and tropical fruits fill the nose. Refined notes of oak are expressed as roasted nuts. Rich fruit flavors expand on the palate; sweet apple blossoms, concentrated dried fruits, fresh red apple and citrus oils are evident from start to finish. New oak tones of vanilla enhanced by the toast level of the barrel nicely balance a mineral-toned acid finish. A medium to full-bodied Chardonnay with exquisite texture and a rich aftertaste. The 1998 will age very well read more...
