The 2006 growing season in northern California was characterized by two distinct features – a spring with more than usual rain and a slightly cooler than normal summer. As a result, the grapes had an ideally paced development cycle with even ripening throughout. With a lighter than usual crop, the Chardonnay developed optimum aromas and flavors along with ideal grape maturity. As a result, this Chardonnay is a true expression of the variety, featuring clean, pure flavors, ample structure and body, and balancing natural acidity. Elizabeth Spencer 2006 Chardonnay is pure yellow gold in color. Crisp apple, honeysuckle, and summer melon aromas are complimented by hints of lemon meringue, clove and slate. Broad and generous on the palate, the wine has rich flavors of Meyer lemon, crème brulee, lavender and pear. On the finish, crisp acidity brings the broad palate into focus with long, lingering flavors of citrus. |
