Premier Release:  Foggy Oaks Chardonnay

From Our Estate Russian River Valley Vineyard
 


September 9, 2010, Healdsburg, CA
- We are proud to introduce the Foggy Oaks Chardonnay.  This incredible new wine has been more than 10 years in the making. 
 

The 2008 Foggy Oaks Chardonnay is a family dream turned into reality.  In 1999, we found a bare piece of land, framed by incredible old oak trees, and envisioned a vineyard that would allow us to produce a world-class Chardonnay.  Our vision was straightforward - find the right spot, plant the best clones, get the right barrels and talent, then produce the best wine possible.  

Crisp, yet supple and inviting, this Chardonnay is a like a warm hug from a close friend.  Aromas of fresh pear, honey, apple and vanilla rise from the glass pulling you in like Grandma’s apple pie.  On the palate, the wine displays balance and elegance moving between fleshy pear textures and vanilla flavors along with more subdued nutmeg and allspice characters.  It is a wine with excellent texture and great length but it doesn’t hang around and stick to your palate – it finishes with crisp acidity and a kiss of Meyer lemon dancing away and inviting you in for another sip.

We are proud to introduce this new wine and invite you to join us in our tasting room, open 7 days a week, to experience this new wine for yourself.  If you are interested in ordering information, please visit our online store or call our tasting room at 800-864-9463 x106  for more information.
