2021 Signature Chardonnay
What a bright and fresh expression of Santa Barbara Chardonnay! This vintage of our Signature Selection Chardonnay is aged partially in oak barrels and partially in stainless steel, providing a delicate balance between freshness and complexity. The beautiful, aromatic nose reminds us of fresh pear, honeydew melon, pineapple and green herbs. The palate boasts similar flavors of white fleshy fruits like white peach and Asian pear, with additional notes of tropical fruits and a hint of buttery caramel on the finish.
Smooth, seet oak and baked fruit. On the nose, the full malolactic fermantation is ecident. Scents of buttered toast, toasted coconut and caramelized fruit. Flavors of juicy, overripe pear and soft cream fill the mouth, followed shortly by spiced apple pie.
