From the winemaker – “The first hint of pear nectar in our Chardonnay expands to aromas of brown sugar and butterscotch then segues into flavors of lemon zest, guava and chewy apricot. Firm, mineral undertones embrace crisp, alive acidity for a finely balanced and elegant wine.
2009 started as an ideal growing season but overall rainfall was still below average. Summer weather held mild and steady. October brought a pair of strong storms that dumped enough rain to worry growers. The white fruit, picked before the storms, had bright acid and great flavor concentration. In spite of October’s surprise weather that required fast and furious picking of reds, all signs point to an excellent vintage.”
