| 2008 Jekel Chardonnay 750ML
California, USA |
Product Notes:
Jekel's distinctive cool climate Chardonnay stars in this terrific vintage, with aromas of passion fruit, Honey Dew melon, pineapple and Monterey's classic fresh lemon citrus with toppings of vanilla bean and butterscotch. This medium-full wine has the crisp acid backbone common to the Central Coast, with layers of flavor from carefully selected lots from an array of vineyards principally from the Arroyo Seco near Greenfield (24%) and San Bernabe (76%). A wonderful roundness and smooth, rich mouthfeel gives in to flavors of lingering peach and pineapple. This is a wine to enjoy on its own, or with fresh fish or crab caught by the Monterey Bay fishing fleet.
