Tasting Note:December 7, 2017

Golden yellow hue with a lush and delicious nose. Rich with caramelized apples, almond butter, brioche and ripe citrus. Lovely and balanced acidity (6/10) and medium to medium plus bodied. Layered palate with apples, vanilla, a little citrus and very creamy. Long and lingering finish.


Absolutely love this label, which is designed by the talented Ruth Harper who is well known for illustrating children's picture books. The 2015 vintage is their inaugural release of this new holiday Chardonnay from Napa Valley. Made up of 100% Chardonnay and fermented in French oak barrels prior to aging for 7 months on the lees in a combination of French oak and concrete eggs. Only 30% of the fruit when through malolactic fermentation and only 200 cases were produced.
