Crafted from a combination of
Oak Knoll vines and longer-hanging Carneros clusters, our 2008 Napa
Valley Chardonnay is satisfyingly ripe, yet focused and fresh in the
same sip. Showy stone fruit, pear, hazelnut and toasty oak spices spill
from the glass. Rich-bodied, fruitful and round on the palate with
vanilla and subtle minerality, the wine is threaded with lively acidity
bringing length and focus to a fine finish. 1,100 cases produced.
“Rich and layered, offering complex, full-bodied pear, fig
and melon flavors, with smoky, toasty notes that take on a subtle roasted marshmallow
hint. Elegant and stylish, this is a shade less rich and opulent than prior
vintages. Drink now through 2013.” – Rated 91 by Wine Spectator
