Corley 2005 Reserve Chardonnay

Wine Recommendation:
Monticello Vineyards 2005 Chardonnay Napa Valley

Winemaking Notes:
The Corley Reserve Chardonnay is crafted in a rich style. The grapes are the finest from the vintage and their rich ripe complex character allow higher levels of malo-lactic fermentation and new oak while still maintaining a balanced wine.

Tasting Notes:
This reserve Chardonnay offers bright complex aromatics featuring peaches, pears, citrus, light caramel, vanilla, cream, along with the influence of toasty, spicy new French oak. The flavors follow similarly with butterscotch, cream caramel, pears, figs and vanilla. The wine is big, full, rich, round on the attack, full in the middle and rich and unctuous on the finish.
