Frank Family Vineyard's 2006 Napa Valley ChardonnayFrank Family Vineyard’s 2006 Napa Valley Chardonnay is bright and lively; it opens with aromas of lemon/lime zest, candied Meyer lemon, yellow nectarine, raw ginger, and dried Mirabelle plum. These fresh aromas are countered by sweet vanilla, rich butterscotch, spice cake and sweet cream butter giving rise to a vibrant and harmonious combination. The palate is crisp, mellow and full; bursting with stone fruit, green apple, and Asian pear while being laced throughout with gentle toasted oak aromas of vanilla and spice, and accented by a subtle hint of celery root and linen.Technical Data:
