Duckhorn Chardonnay Toyon Vineyard 2014 skus_0487040 09480 earthy peatThis Chardonnay comes from a prized block of Toyon Vineyard in the northeast corner of Carneros. Protected from the wind and with a south facing exposure, Toyon is a relatively warm site, where light clay soils produce small clusters of flavorful berries. In the cellar, we applied classic techniques of French Oak barrel fermentation with lees stirring, resulting in a lush and complex wine, with mouthfilling texture and abundant citrus and stone fruit
