tasting notes
Aromas of Meyer lemon, flower, Anjou pears, and crème brûlée
mingle in the Double Plot Chardonnay. A restrained, young wine,
it opens to show abundant sweet fruit and rich persistent lemony
flavors. The Chardonnay is pale yellow in color and offers ripe
flavors and fresh acidity—perfect for savory fish and vegetable
dishes.
winemaker's insight
Fruit from the Conner Lee Vineyard improves year over year. We
selected fruit from the 1989 old block and the newer clone #75
for this Chardonnay. The fruit was whole-cluster pressed before
being fermented and aged in Burgundy puncheons on its lees
for 10 months. Just before bottling, the wine was blended and
filtered. Bottled for freshness, this wine is best served above
fridge temperature at 50˚F.
