January 13, 2015
Double Gold Medal
With 6,417 entries received in the 2015 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition , our 2012 Chardonnay Reserve has been awarded the Double Gold.
About This Wine
Our acclaimed 2012 Chardonnay Reserve boasts bright, creamy aromas of sweet golden apple and white peach augmented by enticing pie crust, biscotti, toasted oak and mineral scents. Full-bodied and mouthfilling on the palate, with luscious, impressively concentrated apple, pear and melon flavors, the wine delivers a strikingly long, persistent finish showcasing ripe fruit, spicy oak and refreshing mineral tones. Although this intense, beautifully structured Carneros chardonnay is difficult to resist now, it will benefit from another 5-7 years of aging.
