Hahn SLH Estate Chardonnay Santa Lucia Highlands 2006

The Hahn SLH Chadonnay was harvested completely from the 156-acre Lone Oak Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands. The gentle slopes of this northern vineyard face east catching the early morning sun, while ocean breezes from the Monterey Bay cool the vineyard making it ideal for growing chardonnay grapes.  Whole cluster pressed, with a full "spice rack" of sur lies aromas, our golden-hued Chardonnay shows a nose of tree fruit-pears and golden delicious apples.

The Hahn SLH Chardonnay gives way to complex and changing aromas of vanilla, mushroom and slightly toasted butter. A swirl reveals soft spices of cinnamon and nutmeg, and as you sip, you discover a burst of guava and apricot. The viscous mouthfeel of this medium-bodied, lush, delight finishes with an array of island fruit flavors.
