The 2010 Elegance was our 2nd Chardonnay harvest. The 104 tons harvested are clone #4 and #17. The vineyard sits on a Western facing bench of the Mayacamas Mountains at the upper limits of the Russian River Valley, The outstanding soil and its aspect to the sun make this a natural for the growing of ultra premium grapes.

Classic aromas of apple, pear with a hint of mango. Hints of butterscotch & vanilla, excellent mouth feel accented by crisp acidity. Flavors of toasted hazelnut and sweet oak with a well woven, and lingering finish.

Manzanita Creek is as passionate about Chardonnay as it is about Zinfandel, we only pick the best grapes out there - and only bottle the best wines. Our new Chardonnay is tons of fun in the kitchen, try some and see for yourself.
