Winemaker Notes
A fresh cool climate Chardonnay, this wine pulls together quenching tropical and citrus fruit flavors and delicate French oak. The bouquet is filled with aromas of mango, pineapple and white rose which carry to a soft and generous palate. Nuances of lemon splice, vanillin and roasted cashew combine with a creamy mouthfeel and zesty acidity to a provide a lingering finish.
Enjoy with light pasta sauces, chicken and polenta, roasted vegetables.
One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.
