2012 Richard Partridge Chardonnay, Napa Valley

Winemaking Notes:  Grapes were sourced from Henry Ranch in the Los Carneros Appellation of Napa Valley.  This wine was aged in one and two year Allier oak for 8 months, sur lie aged for five months, and did not undergo malolactic fermentation.
 
Tasting Notes:  This complex Chardonnay has aromas of pineapple, honeydew melon, and apple.  Complex and opulent, the crisp acidity on the palate is coupled with toasted oak notes and hints of butterscotch that deliver a smooth, lingering finish.
