1995 Chardonnay
In our 1995 Saddleback Chardonnay we feel we have made great strides towards
our ultimate Chardonnay. Many currently available Chardonnays are creamy,
soft, and buttery, and they don't last long. Our '95 has a lovely floral aroma
bounded by scents of butterscotch. It has a creamy mouth feel with nice apple
acidity and ripe pear notes, good body, and a little more butterscotch
transitioning into a perfumed, lingering finish. Life expectancy? Three years! 975 cases made.
Cost: US$ 16.00

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.
