This Chardonnay is 100% barrel fermented to create a rich wine exhibiting a classic profile of tropical fruit and Bosc pear alongside warm oak aromatics. The luscious palate suggests crème brulée and buttered toast, and finishes with fresh acidity.
The hours of sunshine in the field have given it the right to boast of a bulging, perfectly ripe fruit and buttery fullness, which glides completely smoothly over the tongue almost by itself. Tropical fruit and juicy ripe pear are the main notes. They are backed by vanilla from the barrel notes with a touch of creme brulee and melted butter on toasted toast. It would almost be too much charm to stand with if the fine fruit acid didn't come on stage at the end and finish the track with a juiciness that keeps the bloat in check on a rather enjoyable level.
The backbone of the wine comes from 100% malolactic fermentation and then 100% barrel aging. The wine is aged for 7 months in 60% American oak and 40% French oak. We recommend that you enjoy it with seafood, e.g. crab cakes, and for all kinds of oily fish.
Enjoy it chilled in large glasses and in good company. The grapes for the wine are sourced from the best fields in Monterey, Paso Robles and Clarksburg.
