Ripened-fruit with a taste of sweet oak.

"This shows the ripe tropical fruit of a fine vintage, yet maintains the keen citrusy acidity that makes this vineyard’s Chards so balanced and ageworthy. Beneath the pineapple marmalade, apricot and caramelly oak flavors is a rich, flinty minerality that cries out for lobster. Score: 92. —Steve Heimoff, May 01, 2007." Wine Enthusiast 92 points

Our 2006 Chardonnay displays the balance and food-friendly elegance that Starmont fans have come to expect. Bright notes of pear, white peach, nectarine and crenshaw melon are framed by a hint of mineral, toast and vanilla bean. The wine is round on the palate with a long, easy finish.

This alluring wine offers tangy nectarine, crisp Meyer lemon and Pink Lady apple flavors, with subtle notes of nutmeg and oak. This is a well-structured wine, with lifted fruit, bright acidity and a long finish.
