Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

This vintage, in all its ripeness, shows qualities more traditional to a great white Burgundy. It is a luscious wine full of rich flavors and creamy viscosity. In the nose, there is a definite ripeness with traditional pear/apple, tropical fruit flavors characteristic of Chardonnay from the Carneros area.

In the mouth there is a big, full sweet fruit entry, with hints of yeast and wood components and a little spice and hazelnut. There is also a sweet fig and butterscotch character. The flavors coat the mouth with a creamy sensation, but the wine has a crisp finish of lemon and yeast. It is rich but delicate. I would serve this wine with flavorful, rich foods such as Cioppino, or a spicy Cajun dish.
