A Matanzas Creek classic, our Chardonnay is sourced from cool climate vineyards in Bennett Valley and Carneros. A touch of the grapes experienced botrytis, also referred to as noble rot which imparts notes of honeysuckle flower and white peach. With notes of lemon creme and pear the 2007 Sonoma Valley Chardonnay is the perfect accompaniment to grilled lobster, gouda and asiago cheese, or cedar planked salmon.
