WINE DESCRIPTION

RouteStock Chardonnay 'Route 121' is named after the route that is surrounded by vineyards that supplied the grapes for this Carneros Chardonnay. The Carneros region is well-known as a cool-climate region, experiencing morning fogs and afternoon breezes off the chilly San Pablo Bay. Vinification takes place in tank and barrel with the wine spending around 4 months in mostly seasoned French oak to impart just a delicate hint of sweet spices without masking the bright fruit flavors of Chardonnay.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The RouteStock Chardonnay 'Route 121' showcases a beautiful golden hue in the glass, enticing the senses with aromas of ripe tropical fruits such as pineapple and mango mingle with hints of citrus and vanilla.The palate reveals ripe fruit flavors, including juicy pineapple, succulent peach, and tangy lemon zest. These flavors are complemented by a subtle touch of oak, which adds depth and complexity to the wine. The acidity is refreshing, whilst the finish is ripe and satisfying with tropical fruit flavors and a touch of creamy vanilla.
