Decanter
Westwood's Founder's Reserve Chardonnay comes from the Sangiacomo Roberts Road Vineyard in the Petaluma Gap AVA. The fruit was hand-harvested at night, then whole-cluster pressed. Barrel fermented, aged sur lie in small lots using new French oak barrels for 12 months with partial malolactic fermentation. This is a barrel selection of the best lots aged an additional 6 months. White flowers, almonds, acacia wood, a hint of vanilla, and butterscotch. Wonderfully salty and savoury with candied lemon peel, ginger, and quince, underscored by a firm spine of excellent acidity and a long lemon oil finish. Totally seductive and delicious.

Tasting Panel
Publishers Pick - Glistening aromas and flavors of honeyed pecan and Golden apple are eye-opening. Toasty notes and a floral tangerine essence are subtle and lightweight, but texturally broad. White pepper prickles on the finish, garnished with ample acidity and lingering minerality.
