This 2006 is a lush, rich, highly textured wine; delicious, mouthfilling.

This classic Sonoma County Chardonnay offers inviting stone fruit aromas accented by notes of tropical fruit. The well-balanced acidity supports a core of pear and sweet melon and complements a creamy texture. The wine has a clean, refreshing finish.

Vibrant aromas of ripe blackberry and vanilla mingle with notes of roasted coffee and toast on the nose. Full-bodied and velvety on the palate, the flavors are bright and juicy with well-integrated layers of blackberry, plum, mocha and clove spice. The wine's luscious mouthfeel and persistent finish marries fruit, oak and supple tannins in perfect balance.

This is a medium bodied wine, with ripe fruity flavors of pear, crisp green apple, vanilla and toasty caramel. Approximately 70% of the wine is barrel fermented, to integrate fruit and oak flavors.
