Nose
The 2010 Jayson Chardonnay opens with aromas of honeysuckle, subtle
tangerine and white peach.
Palate
This wine has a bright core with hints of minerality and lemon zest, leading to a
juicy, weighty long finish with lingering notes of vanilla and toast.
Bottling
It was not fined or
sterile filtered and bottled on Aug. 19, 2011.
Winemaking
The grapes were hand-sorted and gently whole-cluster pressed. After overnight settling, the juice was racked
to barrels for 100% native yeast barrel fermentation followed by malo-lactic fermentation.
Aging
The wine was aged
in 90% new French oak barrels for eleven months on the lees, which were stirred weekly.
Appearance
Beautiful straw yellow hue.
