This weightier, creamier style of Chardonnay is bursting with flavors of tropical fruit and citrus followed by nuances of rich, toasty oak. Clean and balanced on the finish with lingering vanilla notes.
Sourced from the limestone and gravelly vineyards in the Upper Aude Valley where the cool Pyrenean climate prevails. The large difference between night and day temperatures produces a ripe wine with a crisp refreshing backbone.
Since its founding in 1972, Caymus Vineyards has focused its attention on Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Charles F. (Charlie) Wagner, his wife Lorna B. Wagner and their son Charles J. (Chuck) Wagner built their winery among the vines planted on the family’s ranch in Rutherford, a district long recognized for producing high-quality Cabernet Sauvignons. (The area was classified as a distinct American Viticultural Area, or AVA, in 1993.)
