This 2015 Chardonnay comes from Simone Vineyard in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley. It is barrel aged sur lie and bottled without malolactic inoculation. The resulting wine has a defined depth of flavor with a bright and crisp acidity. In keeping with the CROZE philosophy, the wine demonstrates exceptional balance and is priced to be an extreme value based on wine quality. Only four barrels are available.
In this Port, the winemaker chose to preserve the fruit’s true, varietal character and present it fresh on the palate. Pair with sweet or savory desserts.
