Cache Creek Chardonnay
$28.99
TASTING NOTES
The inviting aromas and plush flavors offer up a blend of tropical fruit,
Asian pear, lime zest and Meyer lemon creme brulee. On the palate,
discover the perfect balance of a smooth, creamy mouthfeel playing
against lively acidity. As the wine opens, traces of cinnamon and lychee
appear and linger with the luscious flavors in the finish.
Fun to just sip, this Chardonnay will also pair well with a Dungeness
crab salad sandwich with Meyer lemon mayo, or a classic veal piccata
over fresh pasta.

Wine Information
WINEMAKER NOTES
Our Chardonnay is night harvested when the temperatures are cool, and
then gently crushed to allow the juice to flow freely from the skins into
a tank. Once in the tank, it settles for 24 hours at a cold temperature.
The juice is then “racked” (decanted off the solids) and inoculated with
a special strain of yeast collected and propagated from wineries in the
Champagne region of France. It is slowly fermented (48°F average) and
develops an array of yeasty characters in the nose because of the cold
temperature. Each aspect of the fermentation and development of this
wine is designed to preserve and enhance the apple-like characters of
Chardonnay without complication. The result is a well-balanced and
fruit forward wine with beautiful varietally correct flavors.
