DR Stephens Chardonnay

100% Old Wente clone Chardonnay from Rutherford, this 2011 Chardonnay was aged in 50% new French oak and aged in its lees for 11 months. Since 2011 was a cooler year, the mineral notes and natural acidity found its way to the front of the palate and through the finish. With this freshness in their 2011 Chard comes balanced notes of citrus peel and lemon oil. This is a Chard that will give you instant gratification.
