BLACK CORDON
2014 RESERVE CHARDONNAY
RUSSIAN RIVER VALLEY
Have you ever wondered what it takes to make a rich, buttery Chardonnay? It starts in the vineyard with ripe fruit that’s bursting with flavor. The winemaker then barrel ferments the grapes in order to increase depth and richness. Next, you’ll convert the crisp malic acid, (think Green Apples), into softer lactic acid (think butter and milk). This conversion process produces diacetyl which is what gives butter its flavor. Want to taste a perfect example of this? Black Cordon’s 2014 Reserve Chardonnay is one of the biggest, richest, most buttery and opulent Chardonnays that I’ve tasted all year…
Like Rich and Buttery Chardonnays? This is for you...
For those of you who love the classic "California Style" of Chardonnay:
a la Beringer Private Reserve,
Rombauer
, Frank Family, Paul Hobbs,
Far Niente
, etc.
It was mindfully created by Julian Gonzalez who gained experience as head winemaker for
Paul Hobbs
consulting where he worked on some of Napa and Sonoma’s most sought after wines. Unapologetically bold, 2014 Black Cordon's Reserve Russian River Valley Chardonnay makes no excuses for being made in a rich and buttery style that defines classic California Chardonnay to the fullest.
