WINEMAKER'S NOTES

Composed of top quality fruit from Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Carneros growing regions, Simi Chardonnay is characterized by excellent balance, luscious fruit flavors and a long, elegant finish. The 2006 vintage produced fully ripe and flavorful fruit with superb concentration and balance thanks to an extended growing season. Lively on the palate with peach, pear, lemon and pineapple, accented with warm spice notes from barrel fermentation and caramel cream.
