2014 Aloise Francisco Chardonnay
The 2014 Tognetti Family Chardonnay is a continuation of our namesake wine. Made from grapes grown on our family-owned vineyard in the Carneros region where our family wine traditions began. The combination of oak aging and the characteristics of the Carneros fruit create a full bodied wine that can be enjoyed today or aged to allow the flavors to fully develop.
Cellaring Recommendation: While this wine is ready to enjoy today, it only gets better with age. Aging allows the flavors to fully develop and elevates the wine to another level. Age for 5-8 years.

Tasting Notes
Light gold in color, the aromas of tropical fruit with a refreshing hint of citrus are balanced by hazelnut and fresh baked bread on the nose. The taste of sweet pineapple and crisp citrus combine with mild acidity, mineral tones, and a smooth vanilla crème brûlée finish in this well-balanced wine.
