Note di degustazione
Consistently one of California's finest Chardonnays, the 100% indigenous yeast-fermented Chardonnay Cuvee Indigene also emerges from the Alexander Mountain Estate Vineyard. Typically, the 1999 exhibits distinctive aromas of smoky tropical fruit intermixed with peaches, apricots, and pears. Long, full-bodied, and layered, with terrific texture, gorgeous purity, and loads of fruit, this effort can stand up against the finest Burgundy grand crus. The Cuvee Indigene possesses leesy, smoky notes in its rich, concentrated style. It is a young, pure, super-concentrated Chardonnay to enjoy over the next 5-6 years (although it may last nearly a decade). (Not yet released) Tel. (707) 942-4459; Fax (707) 942-0209

Bright light yellow color. Deeply pitched, leesy aromas of apple, pear, smoke, grilled nuts and earth. Thick, silky, rich and mouthfilling yet also conveys an impression of subtle, pristine yellow fruits. Very long and subtle on the aftertaste.
