This wine was produced in the classic Burgundian style. Beginning with a cool climate vineyard location, the fruit was hand-picked and gently pressed whole cluster. Fermentation was conducted in French oak barrels, and the wine was aged sur lie with weekly battonage.

Our 2005 Reserve Chardonnay is a rich, elegant and mouth-filling wine. It is a “fruit-driven” product that displays aromas of yellow apple and citrus, framed with hints of sweet toasted oak. Pear and fig form the foundation of flavors on the palate, accentuated by a creamy feel which is the result of sur lie aging.
