2006 Rock White Calaveras County
Our flagship white wine, and first ever White Rock, this blend of Chardonnay and Viognier is a classy and delicious example of the European winemaking tradition. We used a high percentage of new French oak barrels, allowed the wine to ferment with the natural yeast present on the grapes when they were crushed, and aged the wine on the yeast sediment for 10 months after fermentation to enhance complexity. The result is a smooth, voluptuous, layered wine, with baked apple and lemon drop aromas, and lots of toasty oak. Compare this wine with the best of California’s Chardonnays. |
