NOTES:  Our 2005 Cellar Reserve Chardonnay was made exclusively from grapes grown on the Mont Sec Vineyard  (Far West Texas).  This wine is 100% barrel fermented as characterized by the sweet, toasty oak flavor.  To enhance richness in the mouth and aromatic complexity, this wine has completed secondary fermentation otherwise known as  "malo-lactic fermentation".

Our Cellar Reserve Chardonnay will improve in complexity through 2007.  At the winery we have allowed 3 months of bottle aging prior to release.  This wine is should be enjoyable by the glass or a perfect complement to any meal.  The Reserve Chardonnay possesses a character that is ideally paired with rich textured seafood such as grilled halibut, sea bass and lobster.
