2006 Chardonnay
Winemakers Comments

On the nose, this Chardonnay presents cantalouple, white figs, fresh limes, and pine needles. In the mouth, it evokes white peaches, squeezed lemons, and an almost-silent note of French oak in the background. Its acidity is typically crisp. The finish is long. It goes wonderfully with fish and poultry, and will unfold fully over the course of the next five to eight years.
