Private Reserve Chardonnay
2006 Vintage

SOLD OUT - 2007 VINTAGE DUE AUGUST 2008

Produced by the Guglielmo (gool-YELL-mo) family from Chardonnay grown at San Ysidro vineyards in Southern Santa Clara Valley — then pressed, barrel-fermented, aged and bottled at our winery. The cool microclimate of this vineyard coupled with barrel fermentation brings out inviting pineapple fruit aromas and flavors complemented by hints of vanilla. Finishing with toasty oak, the rich complexity of this Chardonnay pairs extremely well with a variety of fish, poultry, and pasta dishes—but feel free to experiment!

WINEMAKERS NOTES
Barrel fermentation coupled with sur lie aging adds complexity and accentuates toasted oak and vanilla aromas, complementing the underlying tropical essence. Partial malo-lactic fermentation introduces a honeyed note to the nose and lends to the creamy style of this wine. This Chardonnay is best enjoyed within two to three years of the vintage date. This release of our 2006 Santa Clara Valley Chardonnay totaled 950 cases.
