2008 Goosecross Carneros Chardonnay
One 750ml bottle
2008 was a roller-coaster of a growing season yielding low quantities of high quality fruit:
"We'll have to enjoy the 2008 while it lasts…" remarks Goosecross winemaker Geoff Gorsuch. A series of weather-related challenges trimmed our Chardonnay yields by about 25%. "For all the drama during the growing season, the harvest weather was just about ideal and the Chardonnay's showing beautiful balance, bright, lively flavors and a smooth, creamy texture."
