SOLD OUTDawson Creek 2004 Chardonnay

The 2004 Dawson Creek Chardonnay Napa Valley Reserve Selection leads with ripe, outgoing, succulent aromas of pineapple, pears, and Fuji apples broadened by a rich layer of creamy oak. This is a lush, well-ripened Chardonnay showing good breadth in its richly oaked, apple-like flavors. The oak as an attractive accent to its themes of ripe apples.

A very full and plump wine on the palate it is notably firmer at the finish than at the start. It is never the least bit heavy, and its clean, wonderfully persistent finish finds a welcome note of acidity and, for all of its present appeal, it has the structure to commend cellaring and should improve for several years. Try pairing with grilled salmon, smoked chicken or roasted duck. 100% Napa Valley Chardonnay.
