It also possesses the richness for ripe brie, herbed chicken, or even charcuterie. Then do yourself the favor of laying a case away for a decade to accompany your Christmas goose in 2015. <br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Vineyard Notes:</span><br> Joe Salman&#8217;s Clarksburg vineyard has produced many of California&#8217;s finest Chenin Blancs. In this rendition, I chose a moderate ripeness to accentuate the driving pear and jasmine aromas and bracing acidity which characterize the Loire. Such fruit contains ample tannin to build a rich structure, though dauntingly astringent when young <br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;"> Winemaking Notes:</span><br> People talk about grassiness in Sauvignon Blanc, but in truth, if you actually mow your grass and go out in the driveway and smell it, it smells like ripe Chenin Blanc. This aspect must be well integrated into the aroma by crafting a fine, dense structure. To complete the structure, we held sur lies for seven months, stirring twice weekly to coat the tannins. This structure imparts properties of aromatic integration to the wine by providing colloids which draw fragrances into the body of the wine and refine their impact into a subtle herb note.<br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Technical Notes: </span><br> <table style= border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td>Appellation:</td> <td><a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Clarksburg.html"target=_new>Clarksburg</a> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Production:</td> <td> 988 Cases </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Alcohol:</td> <td>13.1% </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Elevage:</td> <td>Held sur lies seven months.<br> B&#226;tonage twice weekly.<br> Blended 3% Redwood Valley Viognier</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <br> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/?category=196" style="text-decoration: none; color: #a60000; font-weight: bold;" target=_top> Return to Grapecraft-WineSmith wine list</a> </P> <P> <LI>Please Note: <b> Case Discount: 10%</b> </P> <P><B>Other products in the winery <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Category196" TITLE="WineSmith -
