2002 Andersons Conn Valley Chardonnay Fournier Vineyard

Sadly, the Andersons have lost their source of Chardonnay, the Fournier Vineyard in Carneros. The 2002 Chardonnay Fournier Vineyard will be the final offering from this vineyard, which has produced Corton-Charlemagne-like wines. It is not put through malolactic, so it has plenty of acidity. A light straw color with a greenish hue is followed by a big nose of stone fruits, minerals, and ripe but restrained tropical fruits. This stylish cuvee should age well given its acid profile. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. Tel. (707) 963-8600; Fax (707) 963-7818
