Reserve Chardonnay

"The Hogue winemakers only make reserve level wines from particular vineyard blocks and when the harvest produces grapes of unequaled quality and complexity. The wine is aged sur lies, and during the months of barrel aging it develops richness and complexity. The Hogue Reserve Chardonnay has aromas of intense pear and peach, cream, and well-integrated oak char. On the palate the wine is rich and creamy, with flavors of pear, vanilla, and smoke. On the finish are ripe pineapple and cream. This Chardonnay should pair well with richer seafood dishes such as Dungeness crab cakes or broiled king salmon." - Winemaker notes
