2011 Gold Medal Winner

Robert Whitley, Competition Director, Sommelier Challenge International Wine Competition

"A nice Chardonnay to drink now, with rich tropical fruit, apple and pear flavors, enhanced with vanilla and smoky oak. One of the more successful Silverado Chardonnays of recent years."

2009 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.
