Chalk Hill Estate

WINEMAKER'S NOTES

The 2006 Chalk Hill Estate Chardonnay is creamy and complex, opening up to reveal multi-layers of intricate aromas and flavors as it breathes in the glass. The palate combines Asian pear, jasmine blossom, and a sur-lie creaminess with an earth, wet-stone minerality.
