2007 Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay - Bronze Medal!

This Chardonnay is a single-vineyard wine from Eddie Quenneville's vineyard.  The protected location gives the grapes a wonderful balance of flavors that are typical of the Santa Cruz Mountains Appellation. Our Chardonnay is made the old-fashioned way, fermented in the barrel with lots of secondary fermentation, giving it a buttery/oakey taste that is not at all like your typical Chardonnay.
