2003 Blackjack Ranch - Chardonnay Black Cap Special Selection Reserve

Only made in the top years, the compelling 2003 Chardonnay Black Cap Reserve Special Selection, which was bottled unfined and unfiltered, is a brilliant effort. Possessing great acidity in addition to a Michel Niellon Chevalier-Montrachet-like perfume of crushed minerals, white flowers, peaches, honeysuckle, earth, and wood, this dense, full-bodied beauty sees only 20% new oak. Terrific body and flavor penetration on the palate, and a long, crisp finish are characteristics of this top-flight Chardonnay. Consume it over the next 7-8 years. Tel. (805) 686-9922
