Otis Vineyard Chardonnay, Block 6
  |
Chardonnay, Otis Vineyard Block 6Dry wine. This wine is 100% fermented in new oak. Otis Block 6 is a bigger style Chardonnay with tropical flavors balancing oak and vanilla nuances. Prominent are hazelnut and butterscotch flavors framed by crisp acidity and tasty oak.Harvest 2005 had very little snow pack. Because of restrictions on water use we saw limited canopy growth which allowed more sun exposure. The summer was a typical warm one. A cooler autumn than usual allowed full ripeness.
