In contrast to our single-vineyard, barrel fermented Olivet Lane Chardonnay, this Russian River Valley blend is harvested earlier, whole-cluster pressed, fermented and held in stainless steel tanks, and does not undergo malo-lactic. It is bottled in early Spring following the harvest and is meant to be enjoyed for its youthful fragrance, green apple-like flavors, and bracing acidity.<BR><BR>Tasting Notes: The 2005 Pellegrini Chardonnay &#8211; Unoaked is a beautiful straw color with yellow and green highlights. This wine shows intense aromas of green apple, Bartlett pear, banana, tropical fruits and lemon custard. With good acidity and a long finish, we especially enjoy this style of Chardonnay with appetizers, or with simply prepared unadorned seafood such as marinated Dungeness crab, or grilled Halibut.<BR><BR>This is a California Wine.</P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/calwine" TITLE="California Wine Wines">California Wine Wines</A></P> <BR clear=left><BR><BR><BR><BR> <BR><A HREF="http://www.calwine.com">California Wine</A> <BR>California Wine Online Store powered by Nexternal <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com" TITLE="shopping cart software">shopping cart software</A>
