Chardonnay Tasting Notes and Vintage Description

It is ideally matched with summer salads, seafood, chicken and a variety of Asian dishes. The 2006 vintage was characterized by warm weather well below average rainfall. This resulted in low yields that produced fruit of great ripeness and flavor intensity.
