    2006 Chardonnay View Label
  • Appellation: Russian River Valley
  • Winemaker: Rick
  • Peters Vineyard is located on the western edge of Russian River Valley and because of its cool setting is ideal for growing some of the best Burgundian varietals in California.

  • Medium bodied, hints of melon with herbs and ripe pears, toast and butter. A complexity that past vintages have not had. Minerals with peaches and cream. The fruit—acid—oak balance is perfect.

    Arcadian Winery (Lompoc, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
    2005 Chardonnay View Label
  • Appellation: Santa Lucia Highlands
  • Winemaker: Joe Davis
  • 2005 was an extraordinary vintage. Harvest was slow and leisurely, which is not unusual for Monterey. Bud-break occurred late February, which is typically two weeks ahead of other regions. The extra month of hang time on the vine produces fruit-forward characteristics that differentiate Monterey from other areas.

    Arrowood Vineyards (Glen Ellen, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
    2005 Chardonnay View Label
  • Appellation: Sonoma County
  • Winemaker: Richard L. Arrowood
  • 2005 was kind to Arrowood. Mild weather throughout most of the season and during harvest led to ripe fruit flavors and good acid levels. The nose for our Sonoma County Chardonnay combines honeysuckle, peaches and apples. The palate is rich and lush with almonds and a touch of vanilla. The wine is well structured and impeccably balanced.

    Artessa Vineyards & Winery (Napa, CA) -- (Winery Info & All Wines)
    2007 Chardonnay
  • Appellation: Carneros
  • Lemon blossoms, green apple, ripe pineapple and honeydew melon are front and center in this Chardonnay. This crisp fruitiness is combined with nuances of vanilla topped cream brulee, butter, and toasted oak making this wine both easy to enjoy and seductively complex. Silky supple with lingering flavors, yet a tingle of crisp acid on the finish; a great accompaniment for food and friends.
