1999 Pride Chardonnay
The 1999 growing season resulted from yet another late bud break in Wine Country and Mother Nature dealt us a late vintage once again. We were blessed, however, with abundant warm sunshine throughout the fall and enjoyed a picture perfect ripening season.
The Napa Chardonnay block yielded fruit with a very healthy natural acidity and remarkable varietal definition. Flavors and aromas of green apple and spice marry with the toasty Virginia oak, which lingers long in the finish. The full body and round middle provide a balance, which will complement a wide variety of dishes – a superb food wine.
Cellar and serve at 58º for maximum enjoyment.
