2008 Langtry Estate Chardonnay, Genevieve Vineyard “ Complex flavors of pineapples, Asian pears, butter cinnamon toast and vanilla custard. ” Wine Enthusiast Magazine “ The 2008 Genevieve Chardonnay shows a panoply of aromas like pineapple, nectarine, mineral and Meyer lemon, while a subtle thread of oak adds richness and complexity without hiding the fruit. It is perfectly balanced with a long, satisfying finish. This wine pairs well with roasted chicken, grilled salmon and creamy shellfish dishes.” Winemaker notes
