About This Wine

Our Vineyard Selection Series wines are hand-crafted from specially selected lots of wine which showcase the unique characteristics imparted on a varietal by a particular vineyard. The grapes used in these wines are selected from areas of the individual vineyards which display concentrated varietal characteristics as well as good balance coming into the winery. Extended ageing in both barrel and bottle help to soften the wines before release.

Wine Profile

Vintage:	2007
Varietal:	Chardonnay
Appellation:	Temecula Valley
Tasting Notes:	The 2007 Galway Vineyard Chardonnay was aged in small French oak barrels for 12 months, lending spice and oak elements to the rich citrus and melon qualities typical of this vineyard, creating a wine which is big, complex, balanced and exciting.
Vineyard Notes:	Los Caballos Vineyard
Winemaker Notes:	Our 2007 Vineyard Selection Chardonnay was hand harvested and whole cluster pressed, bringing out the fruitiness of the grape while minimizing bitter extraction from the seeds and stems. After settling, the juice was moved by gravity to 60 gallon French oak barrels where fermentation and ageing took place. Weekly stirring of each barrel during the first six months re-introduced the lees to the wine, lending a rich creaminess and complexity to the wine.
