Cakebread Cellars Chardonnay 2013

Cakebread Napa Valley Chardonnay boasts fresh, fragrant, apple, melon and pear aromas with a hint of oak spice. Rich and mouthfilling on the palate, its smooth, beautifully balanced, yellow apple, nectarine and honeydew melon flavors segue into a long, succulent finish enhanced by refreshing mineral and spicy oak tones. Released soon after bottling, Napa Valley Chardonnay hits its stride after 6-8 months in the bottle and rewards 3-5 years of aging.

Classic California Chardonnay with green apple and toasty oak aromas. Try with roast chicken. Vanilla smoke and dried apricot on the finish of this full-bodied white wine. Pair with oven roasted chicken or slow baked dishes.

Chardonnay food pairings: roast chicken, scallops with a sesame ginger dressing, beef bourguignon, breads, cheese
