2006 'Unleashed' Chardonnay, Sonoma County
We purchased Chardonnay from 2 vineyard sources, one each in the Dry Creek Valley and Russian River Valley of Sonoma County. This combination of vineyards, and their cool and warm appellations, brings a nice array of fruit flavors to our 2006 Chardonnay. The wine was fermented in stainless steel and underwent malolactic fermentation, but did not see any time in oak barrels. Fermentation in stainless steel at cool temperatures creates crisp fruit flavors and bright acidity. Malolactic fermentation was inoculated not for overt buttery flavors, but rather for softness and roundness in the finish. No oak aging means 100% fruit flavors.

Tasting Notes Which fruit do we pick? The wine seems to taste like peaches, red delicious apples, pears and mangos, all in one glass. The wine finishes soft and creamy, making it eminently drinkable. Dare we say "drink another glass"?
