LIBRARY RELEASE

TASTING NOTES

Ever since our inaugural 2003 Sonoma Coast chardonnay, this bottling has showcased the citrusy side of the varietal and 2010 is no exception. Careful selection of 33% new French oak provides structural support while keeping the fruit center stage.Pale gold with a tinge of green around the edges, fresh aromas of lemon, lime, meringue, sweet apple and honeysuckle are followed by a lemon-lime palate that adds enticing notes of apricot, peach, kiwi and pear. A bright, clean and smooth finish accentuates the purity. The wine drinks well already, but we expect it to really shine over the next couple of years.
