2001 Chardonnay Sierra Foothills

2001 Chardonnay Sierra Foothills Wine Details
Price: $9.00 per bottle

Description: The Stevenot Sierra Foothill Chardonnay has been the benchmark for Sierra Foothill Chardonnays for many years, and the 2001 vintage is a wonderful example of the quality of fruit grown in the cooler areas of this region. 50% of the blend was barrel fermented in new Seguin Moreau and Nadalie American oak barrels, with the other 50% cool fermented in stainless steel to retain the exquisite apple and pear fruit flavors of the "vineyard footprint." Only 20% of this wine went through malo-lactic fermentation, resulting in a wine with very defined structure, balance, and finish. Silver, 2003 West Coast Wine Competition. Silver, 2003 Jerry Mead Grand Harvest Awards. Bronze, 2003 Sierra Foothills Wine Show. Bronze, 2003 Orange County Fair. Bronze, 2003 San Diego National Wine Competition
