Skycrest Vineyard Chardonnay

Anderson Valley

Description
Skycrest Vineyard is a sight unlike any other in the Anderson Valley. With vines planted at nearly 2,000' in elevation, it produces some of the most compelling high-elevation Chardonnays in the new world. Intense minerality of crushed rocks and flint are seamlessly balanced with high-toned fruit notes of Meyer lemon, green pear and Granny Smith apple. The finish lasts for minutes thanks to its mouth-watering acidity and firm texture.

RECENT TASTING NOTES
This wine is vibrant, lush with aromas of ripe apple, pear, fresh pineapple, green papaya and toasty oak on the nose. The flavors on the palate are Golden Delicious apple, spiced pear, canned peach and orange zest, with mineral on the finish. Pair with linguine and clams. —T.P.
