| Frog's Leap Chardonnay Napa Valley, 750ml
Napa Valley, USA |
Product Notes:
The 2002 vintage will be remembered by a long, mostly mild growing season that ended in a hectic, compressed harvest. The season began with some bouts of frost in April, followed by some late rains in May. The even growing season with the cool days and nights of July produced balanced flavors and early ripening resulting in an on-time yet swift harvest ?? one that was wrapped up in just three weeks!
2002 Chardonnay is a splendid result of our very deliberate acts of "non-doing". The wine is decidedly light and drinkable with inherent natural acidity and less alcohol. Natural qualities of Carneros stone fruit and green apple are complimented by notes of slate and minerality balanced by the slightest toast of oak. Refined and elegant, our 2002 Chardonnay is an ideal compliment to a variety of cuisine.
