Rodney Strong Sonoma Chardonnay 1998
Varietal: Chardonnay
Vineyard: Rodney Strong Vineyards
Region: Sonoma County, California
Our 1998 Sonoma County Chardonnay has extremely pleasant citrus aromas of lemon and grapefruit yet a touch of sweet, ripe pear. Just over 50% barrel fermentation and the combination of American and French Oak barrel aging have imparted a texture of honey and subtle hints of nutmeg and pine. The creamy texture follows through to the mouth where a vanilla-cream flavor is accompanied by sweet fruits of peaches and pears. Helping to yield a perfect balance, the finish exhibits just enough citrus to retain a brightness of fruit.
