THE LEGEND:
This elegant white is favored by those who prefer a golden, refined quaff, often enjoyed with chicken, duck, partridge or pigeon. Raise a goblet to toast each days victories.
Vintage:
A relatively even growing season, welcome winter rains helped alleviate four years of drought. A warm spring fostered early bud break leading to an earlier-than-normal harvest, yielding fruit with excellent sugaracid balance and concentration of flavors.
Blend:
90% Chardonnay
10% Riesling
Winemaking: Partial malolactic and barrel fermentation
Tasting Notes:
Enticing aromas of stone fruit and white blossoms lead to a rich, creamy palate of peaches, apricots, tangerine, Meyer lemon, baking spices and honey, balanced by mouth-watering acidity. A touch of oak on the lingering finish.
