Blended from vineyards in Carneros and Dry Creek Valley this Chardonnay was 100% barrel fermented in French cooperage, 40% new. Malolactic fermentation. Pear, apple, with a hint of mango and orange blossoms offer a panoply of fruit flavors. Hazelnut and creamy oak add harmony. Limestone base and balanced acidity give this wine depth behind the pleasing crisp but full body.
Petrale sole with a lemon cream sauce, or simply lobster with clarified drawn butter.
First tee. New golf acquaintances. 250 off the blocks down the middle with a slight draw.
