chardonnay

A light green-tinged yellow color introduces yeasty, creamy aromas that mingle with orange blossom, nectarines and apricots. Flavors of dried apricot, baked pear, and Meyer lemon curd mingle with roasted nuts and coalesce with a persistent, mineral streaked finish. So fun to drink now, but expect this wine to drastically improve with another 6 to 12 months of cellaring. Designed to age this wine should provide 5-8 years of extraordinary drinking experiences.  

The 2014 La Pitchoune Chardonnay from Chenoweth Vineyard was crowned the best premium Chardonnay ($45+) at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, being named "Best of Class".

"The 2014 Chardonnay Chenoweth Vineyard leaps from the glass with pronounced pineapple, guava and honeyed peach notes plus hints of brioche, ginger and orange blossoms. Medium to full-bodied, it packs in the tropical and savory favors with a lovely creaminess to the texture and a long, harmonious finish." 94 Points. RobertParker.com

A hazy, golden-green color introduced this very special California Chardonnay. Hand-crafted using old-world techniques and style it is barrel-fermented in 100% French oak. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, this wine exudes impeccable balance. Aromas of lemon curd and orange blossoms intermingled with croissants and wet stones. Flavors of Mirabelle plums, blood-orange zest and Gravenstein apple are heightened by a hint of anise and salty minerality. The crisp, persistent finish carries through to the next sip. Drink now or over the next 5-8 years.
