2001 Chardonnay
Winemakers Comments

The return of our 2001 Chardonnay brings smiles to our faces. It has aged as well as we expected and is in its prime. This peak should last for at least two or three more years, assuming good storage. Enjoy it by itself or with almost any lighter fare and many stronger dishes as well.
