Chalk Hill Chardonnay 2005
Varietal: Chardonnay
Vineyard: Chalk Hill Winery
Region: Sonoma County, California
A bountiful Chardonnay crop in 2005 was thinned to create balanced vines, and a cool growing season preserved fresh acidity and vibrant fruit character in the grapes. The resulting wine exhibits aromas of ripe stone fruit — apricot, peach and pear — along with tropical notes of deliciously ripe banana and pineapple. Brown spices such as clove, nutmeg and hazelnut frame the intense fruit. Lush and rich tropical flavors abound in its multi-textured and viscous palate.
