Winemaker Notes
The 1997 vintage marks the first time that we have assigned a vineyard designation to our Estate Grown Chardonnay. The vineyard has been named after its former owner and great friend of the winery, Arthur Palombo. The style of this wine is consistent with our prior vintages of Estate Grown Chardonnay. Brilliant straw color sets the stage for ripe and fresh aromas of lemons, apples and creamy oak. In the mouth, the citrus flavors are nicely balanced by rich oak and vanilla. The finish is clean, crisp and refreshing. This is a wine that will pair well with pasta, salmon and a wide variety of lighter dishes.

Founded in 1972 by Francis and Kathleen Mahoney and now owned jointly with Bill Hambrecht, Carneros Creek was the first winery to be built in the Carneros district of the Napa Valley since prior to Prohibition. Over the past three decades, the winery has taken a leadership role in the development of California Pinot Noir through its research on clonal selections of the varietal, in conjuction with the University of California-Davis. Based on their research, they identified low-yeilding clones on the hillside vineyards surrounding the winery as producing highly concentrated grapes. These grapes form the backbone of their 1999 Signature Reserve Pinot Noir.
