2009 Sequoia Grove Chardonnay Napa

Light golden yellow in color with layers of sweet lemon curd, ripe and juicy pear, a hint of pineapple and a note of toasted pine nuts. Background notes of orange blossom and lightly toasted sourdough bread give additional depth. On the palate, the wine has a beautiful balance, starting out delicate and leading into a richer note of custard, then finishing delicately again, with a hint of red apple flavor.

These Chardonnay grapes come from Dijon and Wente clones grown in the renowned Carneros District in Napa Valley. We buy fruit from the Beckstoffer vineyard, the Haire vineyard, and the Ghisletta vineyard.
