It has that kind of richness. Fermented dry, but a heavy dose of sweet oak gives it a sweet perception. Try it with lobster. A blend dominated by fruit from Napa Carneros with a small portion of Alexander Valley fruit to add a note of lushness. My favorite F-C Chardonnay for it's leaner, more elegant and much more versatile with food style.
Flavors lean more to the ripe pineapple side.
This one is 80 percent the former, plus 15 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and tiny amounts of Merlot and Malbec. Dusty blackberry nose, with blackberry and cassis flavors. Aged in older cooperage, but wood notes still manage to show through. F-C's best Merlot ever. Very ripe black cherry aromas and flavors, round, supple, soft, velvety and sexy.
