Truchard Vineyards Chardonnay Carneros 2012 is an estate-grown Carneros Chardonnay, barrel fermented in French oak and bottled at 14.1% ABV.
The fruit comes from clay-based vineyard soils in the Carneros AVA, Napa Valley, California. The wine is 100% barrel fermented in French oak, one-third new, with multiple yeast strains, and only 30% malolactic fermentation is allowed to complete. Regular bâtonnage builds texture and depth.
The nose opens with Meyer lemon zest and fresh lime, then golden apricot and a faint suggestion of vanilla, with a distinct mineral quality beneath. The palate is lean and citrus-forward, with Asian pear and lime, then buttered toast and cinnamon spice, remaining firmly dry with brisk acidity. The finish is medium in length, with lingering minerality and a thread of apricot.
