Christopher Creek Winery Chardonnay |
2006 Chardonnay Russian River Valley
With a sense of harmony, elegance and sand Burgundian style, our 2006 Russian River Chardonnay displays notes of fresh pineapple, citrus and crisp green apple. Overtones of toast and spice are the results of fermentation in French oak barrels.
The “Sur Lies” aging (i.e., the wine is left in contact with the fine lees) and a partial malolactic fermentation provide fullness, liveliness and a long-lasting finish that retains the aromatic complexity of the nose and produces a round mouth feel.
Appreciate this food-friendly wine with salmon, oysters, vegetable risotto, crab, lobster and scallops or sip as a reward after a long day. |
