Winemaker's Notes
Castle Rock Chardonnay is made from grapes grown in some of the finest vineyards in California's Central Coast region. Here the warm sunshine and cooling ocean breezes provide an ideal climate for growing Chardonnay grapes, which remain on the vine a full month longer than in other regions, leading to characteristic depth of flavor.

This elegant Chardonnay offers a rich, ripe and fruity character with a delicious blending of vanilla, pear, citrus and melon flavors, subtle oak undertones and a long, balanced finish. In any season this Castle Rock Chardonnay will complement most cuisines and is an especially pleasing accompaniment to fish, poultry and lightly sauced entrees.

Wine Spectator - "Effusively fruity and juicy, with rich pear, honeydew and tropical flavors front and center. There's little or no oak evident."
