2005 Chardonnay - Bien Nacido Vineyard - Methode Moderne This version of Bien Nacido Vineyards Chardonnay was fermented and aged in small stainless steel kegs. This is a very expressive and aromatic wine – the nose is reminiscent of ripe pineapples, and fresh baked pastries. It has refreshing levels of acidity and roundness from the malolactic fementation and sur lies aging. Unencumbered by oak, this stainless steel version of Bien Nacido Chardonnay shows wonderful fruit balanced by sur lie aging in kegs, and finishing with bright acidity. 25 cases produced. 2005 Chardonnay - Edna Valley This wine is

of this wine is in the range of nutmeg, allspice, apple, sweet
pastries,
and acacia honey. But in fact it is the aroma of Chardonnay grown in
the
Edna Valley, well accented with spice from the oak barrels and perfume
from the yeast. The textures are smooth, voluptuous and pleasant on the
palate.
