WINE DESCRIPTION
Layer Cake Chardonnay is a lightly oaked example of Chardonnay with a textured mid-palate and ripe expression of forward fruit intended for everyday drinking over the short term. The wine is made from 100% Chardonny grapes grown in the Central Coast region of California where the oceanic proximity provides a cooling influence that promotes acidic balance in the wine, resulting in a fresher style. The wine is fermented at cool temperatures to preserve the fruit character. Part of the wine is matured in old oak to proide a genle vanillin oak character on the finish. This wine is a good choice for those who enjoy Chardonnay with a elegant balance between ripe fruit and freshness along with a light touch on the oak front.

ORIGINS
Winery: Layer Cake
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
