Dragonette Black Label Chardonnay blends fruit from the high-elevation vineyard of Rita's Crowne in the Sta Rita hills with fruit from Bentrock and Radian vineyard and %75 new French oak to create an opulent expression that is nostalgically reminiscent of California Chardonnay's golden era of big, bold, and powerful whites. Soft citrus, round orchard fruit, candied ginger, and intensely perfumed honeysuckle character add energy to the finish of this more indulgent Santa Barbara Chardonnay. An extremely long finish completes the profile, extending some pleasant vanilla and toast notes for over a minute.  While generously rich and approachable now, 5-6 years of age will help to showcase primary fruit character complexity with further integration of secondary flavour development.
