2015 Unfiltered Chardonnay reflects the opulence and profound intensity of the vintage with rich complex and vibrant fruit flavors balanced by savory barrel fermentation influences. The aromas of grapefruit, honey, vanilla, brioche and apricot are fresh and inviting. The palate is intense and powerful with rich fig and pear fruit flavors balanced by subtle creamy oak, nutty savory notes and a long lingering finish. While most people think of Chardonnay as a fish and fowl wine, we like to pair it with the unexpected: a grilled veal chop or pork tenderloin. Of course it's also delicious with mushroom dishes of all sorts and one of our favorites is risotto with chanterelles and shitakes.

Entirely barrel fermented, this white is beautifully aromatic in pear, toasted oak and hazelnut. High toned, floral and earthy, it shows deft balance in the glass, offering elegance and impressive complexity that lasts gingerly on the finish.

Newton's 2020 Chardonnay Unfiltered was saved from the Glass Fire by virtue of already being in the winery's underground caves. As usual, it's gently toasty, with notes of hazelnut, peach, melon and citrus. Medium to full-bodied but crisp and zesty, there's an attractive yin-yang of buttered popcorn and lime zest on the long finish.
