Tasting note
The Black Stallion North Coast Collection comes from a prestigious appellation on the California coast that is known for cool coastal breezes, refreshing fog and crisp mountain air. This Chardonnay opens with aromas of orange blossom, lemon curd, and toasted almonds followed by tantalizing flavors of luscious fruit, toasted bread, caramel, and a light butter finish.
Viticulture
The fruit used to craft this North Coast Chardonnay comes from a variety of distinctive terroirs. Each of these premier North Coast sub-appellations contributes unique characteristics to the final blend. Anchored by cool microclimate vineyards in the Russian River Valley and Mendocino, the sourcing also includes select vineyards in Napa Valley.
Vinification
Harvested in the cool of the night and delivered to the winery to be pressed into fermentation tanks. Portions of the juice a re fermented on French oak and stirred gently once a week to enhance body and creaminess. The Chardonnay undergoes malolactic fermentation to soften the hard acid and create a more round, buttery mouthfeel.
Food Match
Pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, creamy pastas, and seafood dishes.
