Zoom2007 Talley Oliver's Vineyard Edna Valley Chardonnay
750ml wine bottle
The 2007 year began with an unusually cold winter which prolonged dormancy. Bud break was very even and the remainder of the year hosted mild temperatures with one unusual heat spike in September. The yield was slightly below average in Oliver’s Vineyard, resulting in grapes with concentrated, intense flavors.
This Chardonnay exhibits aromas pineapple, exotic tropical fruits and grilled nuts. On the palate this wine is rich, though balanced by refreshing acidity. Flavors of pineapple and ripe mandarin orange lead to a lingering finish enhanced by a hint of lemony tartness.
