    Product Description

    This is the second label of Alysian Wines. Led by the Hambrecht family in partnership with esteemed winemaker Gary Farrell, they are committed to sourcing from the best vineyards in the Russian River Valley. From the winery: "In keeping with the tradition of second label wines, which originated in the cellars of 18th century Bordeaux, ours is a collection of barrels that do not quite fit the philosophy of Alysian. This flexibility in the cellar allows us to select and blend barrels of small lot wines from exceptional and off the beaten path vineyards and craft an approachable cuvée at an exceptional value."
    This Chardonnay boasts opulent aromatics of ripe stone fruit, lemon curd, and baked apple with a light dusting of baking spice. The rich texture is complimented by lively acidity adding fresh citrus notes of orange and Meyer lemon. Layers of lemon meringue, cinnamon toast, toasted hazelnuts, and yellow apple create a sophisticated complexity. A delicious wine for those who like a little creaminess without compromising balance and complexity in their Chardonnay.
