Neyers Carneros ChardonnayThe vintage was great for Chardonnay, giving long, sunny days with mild temperatures that retained the fruit's natural acidity. Fermentation was carried out in a mixture of new and used French oak barrels using native wild yeast, and periodically lees stirring. The finished wine is rich and creamy with a charming butterscotch component, and a trace of grilled bread in the aroma.
