Winemaking Notes
Barrel fermentation in new and seasoned French oak added toasty vanillaand spice complexities. During the twelve months of barrel aging, we
regularly stirred the “lees” in barrel, which imparts an elegant fullness and creamy texture on the palate. In the glass, the wine is both creamy
and crisp, with flavors of golden delicious apple, pear, Meyer lemon, baking spices with a hint of minerality on the long finish. Enjoy over the
next one to three years with a gourmet cheese plate, creamy vegetable pasta or grilled halibut.
Vineyard Notes
Early winter showers were followed by a warm, dry beginning to the new growing season, setting the stage for an early bud break. Alternating overcast days and heat waves continued through spring and summer, with a particularly hot period in late June, and an unseasonal rain in July. The Chalk Hill Chardonnay was harvested from August 14 to September 12.
