| Wine Notes: | Delicious pears and apples announce this chardonnay, followed by smooth, buttery oak. Rich flavors in the mouth show the ripeness of the 2000 vintage. This well-rounded wine was barrel fermented to match the crisp fruit to the oak. Aging the wine in the same barrels after fermentation greatly increased its complex flavors and textures. Enjoy it with creamy soups, light pastas and fish. |
