Kokomo Chardonnay Peters Vineyard, Russian River Valley 2008

This Chardonnay is done in a Burgundian style. Sur lees method and secondary fermentation were used to increase the palate complexity. The cool growing region is the reason for the acidity in this wine. This Chardonnay has subtle pineapple and vanilla aromas. The palate provides classic citrus and green apple with a sprinkle of toast on the mid- to late palate. This big, juicy mouth feel is followed by a bright, clean finish. It should drink well now through the next 5-7 years. Enjoy this wine with tiger prawn chowder, artisan cheeses or a fresh spinach salad.
