The 2007 Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay is styled to highlight the vivid aromas and flavors of our cool climate fruit. The wine was 100% barrel fermented with 100% malolactic fermentation. Additional layers of complexity were achieved through sur lie aging and weekly hand stirring of the barrels, known as batonage. Native yeasts, which contribute silkiness and depth to the wine, were used on selected lots to round out the final blend.
Our 2007 Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay displays fruit-forward citrus aromas, accented by hints of mineral and toasty oak. On the palate, it is richly textured with cream, toast, lime and minerals.
"Bright gold hue. Powerful scents of lemon, pineapple and oak. Viscous flavors of lemon custard, peach and apple cider. Creamy acidity and hints of vanilla mark the juicy close."
