2008 Frank Family Napa Valley Chardonnay
Our 2008 Napa Valley Chardonnay is abundant and vivacious; it opens
with aromas of citrus blossom, honeysuckle, white peach, and pippin
apple. These vibrant aromas are countered by orange peel oil, roasted
hazelnuts, and poached pears with Tahitian vanilla bean sauce. The
palate is luscious, smooth, and lively; bursting with stone fruit,
kumquat, and Pink Pearl apple Tarte Tatin, the mid palate expresses
country scones with warm lemon curd and fresh baked sugar cookies, and
the finish lingers exposing notes of toasted nuts and subtle hints of
smoke, while being accented by wildflower honey throughout.
Barrel
fermented in 34% new, 33% once and 33% twice filled French Oak barrels
for 11 months. While ageing on the lees, the wine was hand stirred
regularly, a technique known as "batonage," which promotes depth and
longevity This is a California Wine.
