2008 was a topsy-turvy weather year featuring heavy winter rains; spring drought; the worst frost season in over 35 years in March and April; inclement weather during bloom in May; and gorgeous summer and early-fall weather. The net result was a significantly reduced crop of grapes with beautifully concentrated flavors and ideal sugar-acid ratios.
The WineDelightful aromas of citrus, peach and nectarine reflect how Chardonnay thrives in our vineyard in the heart of Napa Valley. The bright fruit is augmented by judicious use of French oak barrels—lending notes of graham cracker and baking spices while enhancing the full-bodied mouthfeel.
