J. Garcia Chardonnay 2003
Chardonnay
from Sonoma County, California
winemaker's notes:
Jerry Garcia was an artist of surprising range and accomplishment. To celebrate his creativity, Clos du Bois has joined with the Garcia Estate to produce a series of special bottlings. The inaugural release of the J. Garcia wines features three of Jerry's favorites: Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon each featuring a unique piece of his art on the label.
The 2002 vintage was a winemaker's dream for white wines — and this Chardonnay is no exception. Sourced from vineyards in Dry Creek, Alexander Valley and the cool Russian River appellations, this balanced wine has fresh flavors of ripe apple, pear, pineapple, papaya and lemon.
The fresh apple flavors and citrusy backbone of this well-balanced Chardonnay make it a wonderful food pairing wine. Try it with fettuccine Alfredo, roasted pork loin or rosemary chicken.
