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

"This second vintage from our newly planted vineyard, shows forward floral aromas of asian pear, vanilla, and baking spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), with nuances of lemon zest. The mouthfeel of this non-malolactic Chardonnay is full-bodied, yet clean and refreshing with strong spice notes at the finish. Delicious now, this wine will continue to improve for at least the next five years."

Harvest Dates: September 14 - October 13, 1998
Fermentation: 100% Barrel Fermentation No Malolactic
Barrel Aging: 10 months
Oak: 40% new oak, 60% one year Billon, read more...

This wine exhibits flavors of pear, and flint-like notes, medium to full body, a subtle, restrained character, but plenty of weight, richness, and concentration.

...exhibits Allspice, pear, and flint-like notes, medium to full body, a subtle, restrained character, but plenty of weight, richness, and concentration. It is a textbook example of a high quality, non-malolactic Chardonnay that marries elegance with... Robert Parker.
