White Wine, ABV 14.20%, 750ML Glass Bottle
“Estate Vineyards provide the backbone to this expressive Napa Valley Chardonnay. Aromas of fresh pear, lemon curd, and toasty vanilla meld with a kiss of minerality from the soil. Barrel fermentation enhances bright citrus-lemon notes and balances acidity, while partial malolactic adds body and creamy crème brûlée character mid-palate.” - Kimberlee Nicholls, Winemaker VINEYARD & HARVEST NOTES • Little Cannon Vineyard, Oak Knoll –citrus, bright acidity • Trubody Vineyard, Oak Knoll –baked pear, rich fruit texture • Grapes ripened early and evenly during a summer of clear skies & no heat spikes. • Low yields of intensely aromatic, flavorful fruit in a smooth and slow-ripening harvest season. • Limited malolactic added creaminess and a nice weight to the mid-body.
