Tasting notes

The 2008 is medium straw in color with aromas of Pineapple, Pear and Melon and a faint bouquet of Vanilla. Flavors of Pear, Apple and tropical fruits are abundant in this rich, full wine. We are happy to announce that the 2008 Chardonnay is sealed with the Stelvin Lux Screw Cap. The Stelvin Lux is a top of the line enclosure that gives the appearance of a bottle with a cork finish, but screw cap ease. Just twist it off.

Wine maker notes

All of the fruit for the 2008 was harvested from our Estate River Junction Vineyard on September 2nd and 3rd with an average Brix of 25.2. The resulting juice was stainless steel fermented cold. A small percentage of the wine was allowed to go through Malolactic Fermentation to further add to the complexity of the wine.
