2001 Chardonnay

Open this bottle and you catch the full nose of pineapple, tropical fruits and a subdued hint of oak. Pour this wine and you see the wonderful gold/straw in your glass, a clean and bright promise of what’s to come. Take your first sip, and note the clean crisp tones, the apple and bright acid, and enjoy! Mark liked the clean finish, noted the acids and found this a wine for picnic time! I enjoyed the fruity nose, the crispness on the palate and found it a grand wine for our pan scared scallops on corn stew.

Cost: US$ 20.00 each, US$ 240.00 per case of 12

Readers looking for a Chablis-like Chardonnay should check out the 2001 Chardonnay. Its sojourn in French oak is well-concealed by the lemony, tropical fruit scents and flavors. A solid, medium-bodied, cleanly made effort, it should drink well for 1-2 years.

Chardonnay Wine Information

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.
