Fresh, fragrant, concentration.
The reserve Chardonnay from T7 is 100% barrel fermented and aged, from grapes harvested from the Becker Vineyard on the Black Sage Bench and Vista Lago in Oliver. It was barrel fermented and aged on lees in French oak barriques.
Lemon oil and apple sauce aromas are rounded out with brown spice, creamed apricot, charred honey, orange blossom and a hint of banana. The palate is fresh with hints of caramel candied apples, vanilla liqueur and spice. It has levity and balance, concentration and a wonderful mouthfeel. The finish is long and mouthwatering.
Bravo; a deftly handled Chardonnay.
Pair: lobster, cedar planked salmon, creamy chicken dishes, creamy fettucini, grilled white fish, breaded and fried oysters, roast chicken or squash ravioli.
