2013 LA FOLLETTE CHARDONNAY NORTH COAST

This Chardonnay offers a bouquet of citrus zest, brioche and lemon verbena that continues to develop with time in the glass. A satiny entry of lemon-curd and Asian pear notes transitions to a core of bright acidity, a result of the partial malolactic fermentation of the stainless steel tank lots. Caramelized green apple and a hint of toast mark the finish. Both elegant and energetic, our North Coast Chardonnay is a harmonious blend of tank and barrel fermentations, decidedly coastal in structure.
