Chalk Hill Chardonnay 2006



From one of the most respected vineyards, the 2006 is a big upgrade in my mind from the 2005 vintage. After a bountiful Chardonnay crop in '05, the vines were thinned to create more balanced vines, and a cool growing season preserved fresh acidity and vibrant fruit character in the grapes. The results are aromas of ripe stone fruit, apricot, peach, and pear along with tropical banana and pineapple. Also, it exhibits brown spices such as clove, nutmeg and hazelnut. I find it to be multi-textured and a hearty enough wine for those white wine drinkers huddled by the fire. It would be great with rich cheeses and meats.
