This is not a big, highly ripened, full-throttle Chardonnay that leaps from the glass but rather a tighter, somewhat reticent one that only slowly reveals itself. It is firm and substantial with fine acid balance, and it shows a subtle, sneaky sort of richness that becomes evident only with patience. It smacks of green apples and white peaches as well as a faint stony note and a deft bit of lightly laid-on oak, and its careful structure makes us believers in its future.

Please note: You must order a minimum quantity of 1 bottles.

Tasting Notes:
In our Fifth year of handcrafting Patland Reds, we are pleased to offer this inaugural Chardonnay to our loyal followers. As with everything in the wine industry, patience is the key to success, and after several years of searching for the right source for the Patland Chardonnay we finally found the perfect blocks. The 2011 vintage is the start of many future vintages of our own Patland Chardonnay expression, which focuses primarily on fruit, minerality and balanced acidity, with secondary flavors of integrated new French oak richness framed by a full mid palate and a lingering finish.
