The fruit for this Chardonnay comes from our Anderson Valley Estate Vineyard, which was organically certified in 2005.
This wine exhibits many of the characteristics you have come to expect from Handley’s Estate Chardonnay: pear aromas and flavors predominate, enhanced by vanilla and a touch of lemon. Texture is an important component in the overall impression of this wine. Its complexity and pleasant acidity will complement rich buttery foods. Our Estate Chardonnay will be a wonderful wine with creamy cheeses, crab quiche, or a simple boiled lobster. GOLD MEDAL - New World International Wine Competition (March 2009)
RECOMMENDED - Food & Wine (November 2008) "GREEN CHARDONNAY AWARD" -
Sierra Magazine (May/June 2009) 90 POINTS - Wine & Spirits (October 2008)
"The pear and apple flavors have a gentle feel, balancing the wine's leesiness and soft, lemony acidity. A pleasing, mild Chardonnay to serve with roast halibut." EXCEPTIONAL - Dan Berger's Vintage Experiences (September 11, 2008) 4 STARS - Santa Rosa Press Democrat (September 10, 2008)
RECOMMENDED - San Jose Mercury News (July 9, 2008)
