75cl Saintsbury Unfiltered Chardonnay~~In spite of its ubiquity, of all the noble grapes, Chardonnay is among the best at reflecting its terroir of origin. So it’s vital to grow this variety in a location that will deliver grapes capable of conversion into a wine that displays the real elegance and luxury Chardonnay can offer. The Carneros region is one such region. Nearly 3000 acres of Chardonnay are planted in these bay-cooled, shallow soils.
This wine is fermented in French oak barrels and aged sur lie for about eight months. Usually twenty-five to thirty percent of these barrels are new; the balance have been used once and twice before. During the aging process, the barrels are stirred (batonnage) to increase yeast contact for added richness. The wine also completes malolactic fermentation in the barrel, which adds roundness to the mouthfeel and complexity to the aroma. Finally, our Carneros Chardonnay has been bottled without filtration since 1993 when, after experimentation, we concluded that unfiltered Chardonnay delivers a more vibrant fruit character and a richer mouthfeel.~75cl Saintsbury Unfiltered Chardonnay - White|1981203005|~20626~23570~~
75cl Saintsbury Garnet Pinot Noir - Red~~Garnet is produced from Pinot Noir grown in the Carneros district. Our aim in creating each vintage of Garnet is to produce a refreshing, early-drinking style of Pinot, one that is full of cherry/raspberry varietal fruit, enriched and developed by aging in French oak barrels.
The Garnet Pinot Noir is enjoyed for the right combination of freshness and extract, grace and length. 2008 is an outstanding vintage for Pinot Noir and the ’08 Garnet reflects that–lush with bright, refreshing fruit and texture that mirror these flavors in a seamless, rewarding expression of young Pinot Noir. This affordable Pinot Noir is a perennial favorite during the holidays, and complements a wide variety of dishes.~75cl Saintsbury Garnet Pinot Noir - Red|1981203005|~20626~23569~~
75cl Julio Bouchon Chardonnay - White~~Chardonnay is the chameleon of white winegrapes: it can produce a light, crisp wine, or the fullest of whites. The Bouchon Chardonnay lies near the latter end of the spectrum; oak-aging and Burgundian winemaking techniques give the wine rich butterscotch and vanilla aromas, while the palate comes through with the tropical fruit flavors that California's warm climate provides.~75cl Julio Bouchon Chardonnay - White|1981203005|~20626~23568~~
