Pine Ridge Dijon Clone Carneros Chardonnay 2006
Pine Ridge was one of the first wineries to pair French Dijon clones with Carneros soils, which in combination with utilizing a system of controlled stress yields intense fruit flavors from smaller berries. Dijon Clone Chardonnay is hand-picked, hand sorted and whole cluster pressed. The wine is barrel fermented and aged in French oak barrels. In order to allow the true varietal character to shine through, this Chardonnay has not undergone malolactic fermentation.
