WINEMAKING NOTES
This full-bodied Chardonnay opens up with fresh crisp aromas of green apple, tangerine, and supported by a wet limestone minerality that provides structure to its bouquet. The combination of 60% American oak and 40% French oak brings forth added background complexity to the aroma. This crisp and refreshing Chardonnay has flavors of bright Meyer lemon and tropical passion fruit with toasted marshmallow nuances.

FOOD PAIRING
Combining fruit from notable California appellations gives this wine its appealing balance. Our 2010 Chardonnay’s crisp entry, full mid-palate mouthfeel and refreshing finish presents the Chardonnay varietal at its nest!
Serve this wine with grilled Halibut with cilantro garlic butter, mixed vegetable stir-fry with Hoisen sauce or for a real treat with a pineapple upside-down cake.
