2009 Allen Vineyard Chardonnay

Rich, heady aromas of ripe Asian pears, apple pie, lemongrass, roasted marshmallows and star jasmine fill your olfactory. Fat, rich flavors of ripe pears, apples, sweet toasty oak, cinnamon, mineral and roasted nuts coat your mouth. The concentration of flavors is balanced by the great natural acidity that always seems to come through in the finish of wines from this vineyard. A great wine for salmon, lighter pastas or grilled vegetables, and one that will age nicely for several more years.
