"Barrel-fermented and aged on its lies, the Bogle chardonnay is a compromise between lovers of rich, buttery chards and the expanding Chablis-loving camp. The partial malolactic fermentation softens the palate and adds depth to the wine. Tropical fruits and green apple burst forth on the nose and palate, followed up by a hint of lemon cream. The finish is butterscotch and caramel with just a hint of toasting American oak on the long, lingering finish."
