Taste
Bright tangerine and pear fruit aromas are highlighted by clove and nutmeg. This medium-bodied wine has a crisp acidity and long finish, with pear and toasty butterscotch oak flavors, and a creamy texture.
Winemaker Comments
Toasted Head Chardonnay is aged on its lees. By stirring the lees in each barrel once a week for six months, the wine picks up a mellow, creamy texture, and the oak flavors are softened.
History
Toasted Head Chardonnay, produced from the finest lots of the choicest R. H. Phillips vineyards, was introduced with the 1995 vintage.
