Item Description

A white wine package of a bottle of Kelly Fleming 2012 Sauvignon Blanc, Pride 2010 Chardonnay, and Shafer 2011 Chardonnay.

Kelly Fleming 2012 Sauvignon Blanc

"Lovely bright pineapple, gentle fresh Asian pears, and a hint of white peach, along with touches of jasmine, lemongrass and kaffir lime leaf,  all demonstrate the integration between fruit and floral notes in this lovely Sauvignon Blanc, primarily crafted from the aromatic Musque clone.  On the palate, the bright, juicy pineapple and floral notes are presented in a crisp flavor profile.  Vibrant and fresh, these delicate and lively flavors linger through the soft, dry finish."

Pride 2010 Chardonnay

The grapes for this wine, the only wine we produce from grapes not grown on our estate, basked in near-perfect chardonnay ripening conditions during the temperate midsummer in Napa Valley's Carneros appellation. With a refreshing breeze from San Pablo Bay and thick overnight fog to keep them cool, hang-time extended into mid-October, with grapes harvested on October 9th, 14th and 19th. After a gentle pressing, the juice was cold-settled for 24 hours and then fermented in our caves in French oak, 25% of which were new barrels. The lees were stirred weekly for six months, and malolactic fermentation was initiated in all barrels and arrested at 30% completion. This wine maintains a crisp acidity and a lively roundness on the palate while expressing heady aromas of lemon zest, starfruit, quince, Antibes melon and crème fraîche.

Shafer 2011 Chardonnay

Elegant aromas and flavors of kiwi, pineapple, lime, papaya, apricot and citrus zest on an underlying richness of caramelized fruit tart and creme brulee. The abundance of exotic fruit gives way to a long, delicious mouth-coating finish that lingers on and on.
