Wine Spectator gives 2006 Chardonnay Monte Bello 95 pointsThere's wonderful perfumed, floral aromas of honeysuckle, lavender,ripe pear and apple in this pure, rich and silky white, whichunfolds to reveal layers of fruit and light spicy, toasty oak nuances.Ends with a long, persistent finish that's engagingly complex.Drink now through 2016.-J.L.Sunset Wine Awards 2009Why we chose it: Lively citrus brightens classic golden apple.2006 Chardonnay Monte Bello100% CHARDONNAYbottled April 2008Though cold, wet weather delayed the growing season, by June the vines had set a full crop. Ripening continued through summer, but in August temperatures cooled again. We harvested over a thirty-day period. Grapes were whole-cluster pressed, and the juice racked to barrel. Natural primary lasted four months; natural secondary took only three. In August 2007, we chose four exceptional parcels, which were racked, assembled, and returned to barrel. At eighteen months the wine cleared, and was bottled without filtration. This fine chardonnay will benefit from a year or two in bottle, and develop fully over another six or seven. EB (2/08)
