World Wine 2004 Averill Lake Chardonnay

California Averill Lake Chardonnay is a new discovery from California, a wine named for the winemaker s favorite place in the US, home to his grandparents summer house. Our tasting panel was very impressed with the style and balance of the new Averill Lake Chardonnay. Only 1100 cases produced in this inaugural vintage. Averill Lake Chardonnay is straw yellow in color with an appealing nose of citrus, apple, nectarine, vanilla, and floral notes. Medium-full in body, dry, crisp and smooth, this wine offers rich flavors of pear, apple, peach, citrus, and vanilla, with a light touch of oak. It is well balanced to enjoy now and over the next 5-6 years. Long, rich and refreshing on the finish. Enjoy Averill Lake Chardonnay with poached salmon, grilled shrimp, roast chicken, grilled vegetables, and cheeses.
