We employ a dual harvest technique with the Chardonnay. Half of the block is harvested in mid to late August, when the fruit still has firm acids. The other half is picked from 3-4 weeks later, when the grapes are bursting with sugars. This Chardonnay is barrel aged in French and American oak barrels, 15% of which is new wood. Lees were stirred every two weeks once fermentation was complete, allowing the wine to gain complexity and structure. This makes the wine ready to drink upon release, but also age gracefully for a number of years in the bottle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTASTING NOTES:\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vibrant color and aromas of baked apple, pear cobbler, Asian pears, guava and Golden Delicious apples instantly fill your senses and are complimented by hints of apple cinnamon dumpling. The mouth fills with complex flavors of sweet, rich, Asian pears, butterscotch, spiced baked apple cobbler and Golden Delicious apples. Soft hints of cookie dough and butterscotch candy round out the wine to produce a very seductive, long, lingering finish.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCRITIC ACCLAIM\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWE 90 | Wine Enthusiast 90 points\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis wine is supple, lush with baked Bosc pear, baked Fuji apple and baked pastry dough.
