Foley 2008, Chardonnay, Rancho Santa Rosa, Sta. Rita Hills, California Wine, (750 ml)

2008 Rancho Santa Rosa Chardonnay delivers aromas of ripe pear, honeysuckle and apples. The flavors are lush and generous with notes of hazelnuts and toast. The finish is lively thanks to the wine’s low pH and firm acidity. It has enough body to stand up to a wide array of foods and the balance to drink well on its own. After harvest, the grapes were gently whole-cluster pressed and transferred to tank. After a day of cold-settling, the juice was inoculated and racked to French oak barrels where it underwent weekly stirring for added texture and complexity. To retain acidity, a quarter of the wine was prevented from completing malolactic fermentation. All lots were kept separate throughout vinification and aging to ensure greater character, distinctiveness and quality. After 20 months in barrel under cool cellar conditions, the wine was bottled.
