Sonoma
100% Chardonnay
Oak barreled just enough to enhance the flavors without allowing the oak to dominate the varietal character. This requires careful attention to fermentation and to aging. Each wine is tasted repeatedly to determine how much of the oak has influenced the flavor. Promise to strike the right balance between varietal intensity - the true flavor of the grape when harvested - and the vanilla/spice flavors which derive from contact with oak, complexity, but not to taste of oak.
