Rutherford Ranch Barrel Select Chardonnay
Winemakers across Napa Valley reported another stellar harvest for 2016. Bud break began early due to a warm spring, and the summer season saw moderate daytime temperatures with cool evenings. Harvest began in mid-August with the picking of our white grape varietals. October brought heavy rains which put a swift end to a successful harvest. Our Napa Valley Chardonnay was fermented in a combination of temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and French oak barrels. Our stainless steel fermentation process allows us to preserve the fruit’s natural lush flavors and aromatic qualities. The French oak barrel sur lies then imparts richness and a creamy texture to the mid palate, creating a complex yet elegantly balanced Chardonnay. This is a deliciously versatile wine to be enjoyed as an apéritif or paired with chicken and grilled fish entrées, creamy vegetable soups or your favorite selection of cheeses.
