Sterling Vineyards Chardonnay Napa Valley 2011

Winemaker's Notes:

Brilliant medium straw in color. Luscious aromas of fresh Golden Delicious apple, orange blossom and lemon zest, with hints of vanilla and cloves. Bold flavors of pear and Golden Delicious apple with hints of pineapple, baking spices and vanilla. Creamy mouthfeel with a supple, tropical finish.

2/14/2013 - JMCMCHI WROTE: 86 Points Pleasantly competent and refreshing, while more creamy than crisp. Nice floral notes (!), mid length, nice balance

This Chardonnay shows the beauty and complexity of the Napa Valley, marrying the lush, bold ripeness of the mid-valley with the richness and depth of Carneros. Fragrant oak spices, honey and tropical fruits open the nose. On the palate, layers of golden apples, peach, lemon curd and caramel are lifted by a bright citrus finish, flanked by toasty spices. The elegant, full-bodied style of this Chardonnay can stand up to fleshy seafood and grilled meats alike. - WineryVarietal Composition:98.2% Chardonnay0.5% Viognier0.4% Pinot Gris0.9% otherAlcohol: 14.5%Acidity: 5.9 g/LpH: 3.49

Aromas and flavors of fresh pear and ripe apple mingle with vanilla and oak spice from barrel fermentation and aging. Up front, crisp Asian pear, pippin apple and tropical fruit guide the entry, balanced by notes of caramel, ginger and clove. Across the middle, the Carneros grapes show their face, lifting the silky fruit with a distinct lemon essence and sprightly minerality that carries through the finish. Well balanced, with layers of fruit and spice, this wine makes a versatile food companion.
