2009 Laetitia Estate Arroyo Grande Chardonnay
SKU #500140
The 2009 is amazing!!! Mineral and fruity with delicate aromas of jasmine, lychee, and tea rose that transition into lemon drop, ripe pear and green apple flavors. This Chardonnay offers a smoky, spicy anise character that weaves through the honeyed finish and crisp acidity.

WINE ENTHUSIAST REVIEW: From one of the coolest vineyards on the Central Coast, this Chardonnay's acidity is brisk and bright. It provides a balance to the enormously rich, long hangtime flavors of pineapples and other fruits that are tropical in their exotic richness. New oak provides the perfect touch of caramel and vanilla toast. A great price for a Chardonnay this good. Editors' Choice.
The grapes were pressed whole-cluster and racked into barrels. Primary fermentation lasted two weeks and the wine was inoculated to promote secondary malolactic fermentation. The Chardonnay was aged in Francois Freres and Rousseau French oak barrels, of which 25% was new oak. The wine was aged in barrel for nine months. At blending, each barrel was tasted separately to create perfectly balanced 2009 Estate Chardonnay blend.
