Phelps Creek Chardonnay Estate Reserve 09

An impressive bouquet of forward smoky oak with ripe pear, fig and lemon aromas leading to full, racy flavors that encompass pear, quince, and citrus carried out in a dry and crisp style with additional layers of smoke and toastiness from the barrel aging. This Chardonnay is one that will repay many years of cellaring if you are so inclined. Enjoy with a simple roast chicken, pasta with gorgonzola, or a richly sauced salmon. - the winery
