Tamber Bey Chardonnay "Deux Chevaux Vineyard" 2013 (Yountville, Napa Valley, California) - [WE 90] [WS 90]

Notes from the Winemaker:Tamber Bey's estate - grown Dijon Clone Chardonnay is a unique wine for Napa. This Chardonnay has a Burgandian feel as the French Dijon clone brings a wonderful mid - pallet sense of fruit, but leaves out the oak and butter (characteristic of traditional Napa Chardonnays). This old block of Chardonnay just keeps giving us the amazing fruit. Winemaker Notes: This wine is all about what makes our Deux Chevaux Vineyard Chardonnay so special. This wine delivers a very rich nose that mixes honeydew melon, ripe pineapple, honey, sweet oak and butterscotch. It possesses a classic Napa Valley barrel - fermented Chardonnay mouth that is rich and unctuous. The flavor profile delivers honeydew and pineapple, with added hints of vanilla custard, orange marmalade, floral notes and roasted chestnut. The wine has a strong finish of butterscotch due to malolactic fermentation. Production Notes:Cooperage: Cadus and DamyTime in Oak: 17 MonthsNew Oak: 32%Production: 593 cases Ra
