2008 Chardonnay, Carneros
This yellow colored Chard opens with a mild green apple bouquet with a hint of yeast in the background. On the palate, this wine is full bodied, balanced, and slightly creamy. The flavor profile is ripe golden delicious apple with notes of vanilla oak and toasted almonds. The finish is dry and lingers nicely. Our mini group thought his would pair well with Orecchiette with chicken, peas, and a thick cream sauce. Enjoy!

2008 Chardonnay, Carneros
Rich and opulent, in the California coastal style. The grapes come from some respected Carneros vineyards, including Hyde and Stanly Ranch, and the pedigree shows in the balance of ripeness and acidity. With pineapple, mango, green apple, crème brûlée and buttered toast flavors, it’s just delicious. Great with Dungeness crab and sourdough bread and butter.
