Description

Our Cold Creek Chardonnay is grown in the slightly cooler microclimate of the Sonoma side of the Los Carneros district to the west, where thick fog and cool marine winds protect its tender skins. Indigenous to the Burgundy region of France, Clones 15 and 95 at a 50:50 ratio exhibit an approachable style and luminous, golden color.

Tasting Notes

The beautiful color twinkles like a flawless yellow diamond, which then leads you through an aromatic journey with notes of sweet cantaloupe, toasted hazelnut and vanilla. The wine has flavors of nectarine, the perfect bite of lemon meringue pie and citrus blossom. The palate is complemented by bright acidity and a creamy mouthfeel alongside a subtle hint of lemon peel. This delightfully balanced Chardonnay will the perfect accompaniment for your next night out on the town.
