2015 Black Satation Chardonnay (Crew Wine Co) $12

()

Vineyard Notes:  “Due east of Napa, tucked away in northern California’s rolling Dunnigan Hills, is a little town called Zamora. But back in the late 1800’s, folks around here used to call it Black’s Station. At its height, this hub founded by J.J. Black boasted a hotel, two stores, a jail, blacksmith shops and a town hall. Today we grow our grapes just three miles from Zamora. We like to think that they carry with them the character and frontier-style of that old town.”

Winery Tasting Notes:  “A golden straw color with aromas of spicy, toasted oak and stone fruit, our 2015 Black’s Station is the essence of Dunnigan Hills Chardonnay. Flavors of tropical fruit and rich butter are balanced by crisp apple in the finish. Luscious and creamy, this wine can be enjoyed on its own as an aperitif or paired with chicken alfredo over linguine or a garden-fresh Italian bruschetta.”  

“Wine Enthusiast” 88 pts – BEST BUY:  “his big, full-bodied wine is unabashedly bold and brassy, from the aromas of toasted oak to the buttery flavors and vanilla finish. While dry, it has a rich texture and the near-sweetness of ripe varietal flavors.”  –Jim Gordon
