Winemaker Jeffrey Stambor Notes
Our Carneros Chardonnay offers lush aromas and flavors of citrus blossoms and peace infused with hints of vanilla cream and nutmeg. The palate offers bright fruit flavors with rich texture and a long, silky finish. Grapes for this wine are sourced from prized vineyards in Carneros, a region BV pioneered in the early 1960's. Here, a long, moderate growing season allows grapes to fully mature at lower sugar levels and higher acids, maximizing freshness while achieving great depth of flavor.
