2006 Drake Estate Vineyard Chardonnay

Our first vintage as a single vineyard wine, it exhibits aromas of roasted almonds, mineral and citrus blossoms. The extended barrel aging gives this wine a more expansive mouth feel that is creamier and lusher in texture, with a citrus/toffee element on the palate. The crisp acidity also gives the wine a sweet Meyer lemon flavor with a hint of mineral in the finish.
