Our 2012 Reserve Chardonnay is produced from grapes grown at Stuhlmuller Vineyards in Alexander Valley bordered by Russian River and Chalk Hill Appellations. This area has unique river bench land soils, which produce some of California’s most distinctive Chardonnays. This Chardonnay was fermented and aged sur lie for eight months in French Oak. The wine possesses a golden color, lovely fragranced layers of pineapple, pear, apple and lemon cream pie, with a soft finish of nutmeg and citrus blossoms.
