2008 Unoaked Chardonnay

A new product for us, this whole-cluster pressed, 100% stainless steel fermented wine shows off the pure essence of Russian River Valley chardonnay. The aromas of ripe Pink Lady apples, Anjou pears, Sun Crest peaches, and fresh honeysuckle dominate the nose of this blend. Bold flavors of ripe apples, nectarines, mineral and fresh pineapple fill your mouth. Refreshing acidity (no malo-lactic) gives this wine the ability to pair with almost any food. Most of this fruit was sourced from older chardonnay vineyards along Westside Road.
