Bernardus Chardonnay (375 ml)

Winemaker's Notes:  Our Monterey Chardonnay is assembled from specially selected vineyards primarily in the Arroyo Seco and Santa Lucia Highlands appellations.  These two viticultural reigons contribute certain aromas and flavors that, when blended, produce and extraordinary wine.

Our 2008 is a perfect expression of Monterey Chardonnay with bright aromas of apple, candied lemon and honeysuckle accented by notes of fresh butter and caramel.  The palate is rich and very smooth, exhibiting lush flavors of ripe tropical fruits finishing with beautiful notes of vanilla, creme brulee and spice.

Critical Acclaim:  "This young, pithy wine shows good intensity, focus and purity of flavors build around citrus, green apple and honeydew melon, with light cedary notes.  Elegant finish.  Drink now though 2016."  89 Points - Wine Spectator
