2005 Chardonnay
Our 2005 Chardonnay is smooth and buttery, but not oaky, and elegantly presents ripe fruit flavors of papaya and pear. Meals of poultry, pork, or seafood, and dishes with a heavy cream base will pair perfectly with this wine.

Winemaking Notes: Aged 24 months in French oak (13% new, 87% neutral) Like our '04 Chardonnay, our '05 was also barrel aged for an extended period. Though it has 100% malolactic fermentation, the buttery notes are subtle and not overdone which allows the fruit to show through in a very balanced fashion.
