Please note that our ever-popular SHV Chardonnay is still several hundred cases short of our annual average, so order early This vintage is palest straw in color and is definitely on the adolescent side at the moment. Its bouquet has a notable mineral quality, and reminds us of fresh-picked green apples. The light, supple body needs six more months in the cellar for the flavors to begin to integrate and develop the crisp, fruity Chardonnay you like so well. When you open the first bottle think about serving it with Mike Chelini’s Farm House-Style Wild Salmon Dinner (see mailer insert), which is a simple and easy way to please family and friends.
