Gloria Ferrer -  Sonoma, California

Carneros Chardonnay

Tasting Notes

Enticing aromas of ripe Gravenstein apple, Asian pear, hazelnut and hints of oak spice abound in the nose of this Chardonnay. On the palate, the wine is round and viscous yet refreshing with rich, tangy lemon and butterscotch flavors mingling with a touch of cloves throughout the lasting finish.
