"Bright gold hue. Citrus and sliced apple aromas. Compact flavors of apple and pear with a youthful edge of fresh acidity. Balanced, foursquare finish with an apple juice-like sweetness."

"We've been begging California Chardonnay producers to make more "food" wines and it seems the pleas have been heeded. Or maybe it's just a coincidence. Whatever the motivation, the '07 Napa County Chardonnay from Silverado strikes a chord with a crisp, dry Chard that is loaded with intense fruit aroma without being fat or oily. This is a well-balanced Chardonnay in every repect, exhibiting aromas of apple, pear and lemon and well measured oak."

"The 2007 Chardonnay has copious lime and lemon oil as well as some orange blossom and honeysuckle notes. The wine has a greenish hue to its color, and shows little evidence of any noticeable oak other than some subtle spice. It has zesty acidity, medium to full body, and a long, pure finish."

2007 Estate Chardonnay: With two Carneros Vineyards and one in Yountville, we have the luxury of a lot of ingredients for our Chardonnay recipe: mineral and flint from the cooler sites; tropical fruit, pear and honey from the warmer site. Add lees stirring and malo-lactic fermentation as desired. Age in mild oak for a hint of vanilla and hazelnut. Chill before bottling.
