2017 Anvil by Forgeron Chardonnay, French Creek Vineyard
Our old-vine Chardonnay hails from the “Old Wente” block known for its chalky, stony soil that produces full-bodied wines of great complexity and balance. With a nod to French tradition, our ANVIL Chardonnay is aged for 17-months in 50% new French oak and 50% 1-year Burgundian oak.
Our 2017 Chardonnay has been styled in a Burgundian fashion with tones reminiscent of the Napa Valley. Displaying an alluring medium-straw color, this Chardonnay wafts tantilizing tropical notes of pineapple and coconut mingled with marzipan and pink grapefruit. Each sip abounds with big fruit and hints of brioche toast. The grippy mouthfeel lends further inspection and the discovery of piquant opulence and graceful structure within the wine.
