Chardonnay by Bogle Vineyards 2019

“Our Bogle Chardonnay is the epitome of a hand-crafted wine: harvested by hand and whole cluster pressed, half of the grapes go directly into stainless steel tanks to retain their crisp, fresh nature. The other half are fermented in new American oak, where they age on the lees for 9 months, with monthly stirring. The finished wine is blended together just before bottling, bringing together a complex yet delightful wine. Green apple and pear aromas classically characterize this wine as Clarksburg, while honeycomb and vanilla heighten the first impression. The rich, round entry rolls into a viscous and silky mouthfeel, surrounded by Asian pears and Honeycrisp apples. The finish lingers long and soft, like the wafting aromas of grandma’s warm apple pie. This wine is certified sustainable by the California Rules for Sustainable Winegrowing and proudly bears the symbol on the label.” - Winery

"This full-bodied wine is ripe in flavor and rich in texture. It does a great job of balancing delicious pear and subtle vanilla flavors on a creamy, layered texture. It seems to get better with each sip."
