The 2019 Reserve Chardonnay is a blend of two clones of chardonnay from our estate vineyard. Clone 4 tends to be ripe and rich, with tropical fruit characteristics. The Mount Eden Clone expresses more minerality and vibrant acidity. Pleasant aromas of butterscotch and caramel dominate the nose, with hints of citrus and stone fruits underneath. Lime zest, green apple, and various tropical fruit notes are present on the palate. A healthy, but not overpowering dose of French oak adds sweetness and weight to the wine. This chardonnay has a rich creamy texture and balanced acidity, making for a long lingering finish. Food pairings include: creamy cheeses, fish and chicken entrees.
