Our Awards & Announcements
One of our newest Chardonnays is named for its elegant and refined beauty. This sumptuous Chardonnay is the result of gracefully balancing technique and craft: French Oak barrel aging, ‘sur lie’ (on the yeast) aging, and the highest quality family-grown Sonoma County fruit.
Only 168 cases of this limited run Chardonnay were produced. It was aged in new and second-use French oak barrels for 6 months. Like the ballet slipper on the label represents, this is a command performance that is only repeated in stellar years; those rare occasions when highest quality Lodi Chardonnay grapes become available.
Enjoy with rich pasta dishes, chicken, seafood, pork, or butter based sauces. If you want to experiment a bit, some Chardonnay-friendly spices and herbs include tarragon, Italian flat leaf parsley, thyme, lemon zest, marjoram, white pepper, shallots, and poultry seasoning blends.
Butterscotch. Apple. Lemon Zest. Caramel. Don't be surprised if you start to notice hints of toasted coconut, banana cream pie, and ripe pineapple as it warms up. Slight notes of graham cracker crust linger on the finish. This voluptuous wine is rich, ripe, and flavorful from start to finish.
