St. Francis Winery Chardonnay |
2005 Chardonnay Yamakawa Vineyard, Carneros
This exceptional Chardonnay was created from the grapes of the Yamakawa Vineyard located in the Carneros region. It displays a typical Carneros fruitiness and crispness, balanced by good acidity and a touch of oak.We hand-pick at full ripeness to ensure intensity and concentration of flavors.The wine is then fermented in new and one year old French oak barrels with a 100% malolactic treatment.The wine is aged for ten months, with an occasional stirring of the lees. |
