Blackstone Sonoma Reserve Chardonnay 2008
Varietal: Chardonnay
Vineyard: Blackstone Winery
Region: Sonoma County, California
At Blackstone's Kenwood winery in Sonoma Valley, winemaker Gary Sitton focuses on crafting wines that express the geographic diversity and essence of Sonoma County. The Sonoma Reserve wines represent the finest growers and vineyards of the region, and they embody the accessible, fruit-forward and balanced style characteristics of Blackstone.
The 2007 Sonoma Reserve Chardonnay displays vibrant freshness and forward fruit. Aromas of vanilla creme brulee, pineapple, and pear tart emerge and complement zesty lemon, green apple, and toasty oak flavors. This crisp, elegant Chardonnay with golden straw hues exhibits bright acidity, balance, and forward fruit. The alluringly creamy texture in the mouth has a long and luscious finish that pairs well with lobster bisque, mild cheeses, or flavorful chicken dishes.
