1991 Chardonnay
The crisp citric and apple fruit character has mellowed and
blended beautifully with the vanilla oak flavors during bottle aging. Barrel
fermentation, extended sur lie contact, and up to eight months in French Limousin
oak cooperage has given this wine lovely depth and texture. This wine is at its
most approachable right now!
Cost: US$ 12.50 each, US$ 129.00 per case of 12

Our first vintage of Chardonnay dates way back to 1983 from vines planted on our estate that were then just three years old; subsequently, more were added in 1990 when we T-budded a few rows over from Cabernet Sauvignon. The Chardonnay on the estate is planted with 7x12 bilateral cordon and dry farmed. Chardonnay now totals 2.9 acres of the 14.8 acres planted on our estate. Today, we enhance our Oakville estate with a small amount of fruit sourced from The Garvey Vineyard in St. Helena, located on East Zinfandel Lane.
