Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay 2010

Napa Valley, California, United StatesThe nose is typically Napa warm with pear and butter notes but the attack is crisper with pear, mineral and citrus aromas and richer pear and nutmeg mixed with spicy, floral, creamy mineral tones. Balance and restrained it is fully ready to drink. The 2010 is an 88/12 barrel versus tank ferment with only 11 percent going through malolactic fermentation before the vast majority spends eight months in barrel.Tasted: 13 July 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
