Description

Calstar Cellars began in 2001 with the goal of producing exclusive, hand-crafted wines with a food-friendly focus.

Winner of the GOLD MEDAL at the Sonoma County Harvest Fair, the Bennett Valley Chardonnay is a rich golden straw color and a lush and complex Chardonnay.

On the nose, baked Gravenstein apples dominate, complete with warm baking spices, browned butter, marzipan, and toasted shortbread. A hint of floral and lemon zest lifts the rich tones and brings balance to the aromas. The palette holds a tremendous amount of freshness through Meyer Lemon, pear skin and a hint of honeydew before secondary (and warmer) notes of baking spice and toasted sourdough emerge. The acidity is incredibly vibrant and juicy (the product of such a long and cool ripening season), bringing wet rock and a lovely salinity to the finish.
