Pretty, pinkish salmon color; attractive, assertive, fragrant, red berry and watermelon aroma; medium body; nicely balanced, moderately rich, red fruit flavors with bright acidity, spicy notes, and a crisp mouthfeel; lingering aftertaste. Very highly recommended.
The grapes for the 2012 Reserve Chardonnay come primarily from our vineyard in Napa Valley Carneros. This wine entices with aromas of quince, apple, cinnamon, caramel, citrus, butter, vanilla and graham cracker complemented by elegant, upfront flavors of pear, peach, crème brûlée and hazelnut with a lingering, toasted oak finish.
