The Experience
Aroma - Fresh fruit salad with lemon zest, peach and pineapple. Spicy oak with a hint of clove and honeysuckle.

Palate -Peach, lemon and toffee apple flavors with a touch of mineral, vanilla and spice. The palate is rich and concentrated with a silky texture and creamy, nutty finish.

The Vineyards
The grapes for our 2004 Napa Valley Chardonnay came predominately from our Estate Vineyard in the famed Carneros Region of California. The vineyard is located near the historic Winery Lake District where Chardonnay was first planted about 25 years ago. We have six different clone and root stock combinations planted which give us a variety of aromas and flavor profiles to chose from when making our Napa Valley Chardonnay blend.

The 2004 growing season started with a relatively warm spring, followed by a warm dry summer, which had us harvesting several weeks earlier than usual.
