Bonterra, Mendocino County, Chardonnay 2010Â The nose features fresh stones fruits and a splash of new oak. Â In the mouth the fruit expression is quite lively, citrus, apricots, peaches and the freshness of summer sunshine.
Besides the Chardonnay, the grapes behind this wine include 4% Muscat and 4% Viognier, 100% organically grown. The residual sugar is just 3.9 grams per liter which accentuates the fruit without tasting overtly sweet. Winemaker Robert Blue. Produced and bottled under a screwcap closure in Hopland 13.5% available directly from the winery for $11.99, a media sample. Bonterra
