Ken Brown 2007 Chardonnay Nielson Vineyard
$34.00
This Chardonnay is rich and luxurious with aromas of Bartlett pear, honeysuckle and spice, which will gradually evolve into aromas of honey, pear and hazelnut as the wine develops. A rich mouth feel and opulent mid-palate are beautifully balanced by a thread of natural acidity, a trademark of Santa Maria Valley Chardonnay. The wine culminates in a silky, seamless finish.
Vineyard Source:
100% Nielson Vineyard, Santa Maria Valley. Planted by pioneer, Uriel Nielson in 1964, this property is Santa Barbara County’s oldest vineyard. A portion of the fruit comes from the original vines, planted to the Wente clone. These small, intensely flavored berries bring concentration and complexity to the wine. The balance of the grapes comes from newer plantings, which contribute a broad palette of vibrant fruit aromas and flavors.
