Opens up with a pronounced buttery sandalwood bouquet coupled with uplifting floral notes and the influence of ripe pluot. In addition to its wonderfully fragrant aroma, it's very pleasing on the palate, dry and crisp with a touch of minerality. Layered flavors of wild flower honey, Bartlett pear and tropical fruit flavors pre-dominate with a hint of fresh coconut on the finish. Delicate French oak aging gives added complexity to this refreshing California Chardonnay.
Our 2018 Smoking Loon Chardonnay opens with aromas of juicy, bruised pear with hints of vanilla, papaya and red apple. This medium-bodied, fruit-forward Chardonnay is nicely balanced and finishes with delicate notes of French oak, light vanilla, and caramel. 70% Malolactic fermentation gives it a little bit more weight in the mid-palate. The acidity keeps this wine lively and is ideal for pairing with foods such as hummus with pita chips or shrimp pasta.
