2006 Chalone Estate Chardonnay - The 2006 Estate Chardonnay captures the expression of Chalone terroir with layers of citrus, guava, apple and pineapple character. Hints of brioche, hazelnut and mineral weave through the lush fruit flavors. "The distinctive minerality in this wine comes from Chalone vineyard’s unique limestone and decomposed granite soils," says Winemaker Robert Cook. "This quality contributes to the wine’s aging potential—as the fruitiness diminishes, the minerality continues to add complexity."
