The must was inoculated with a Burgundy yeast strain in the tank. After fermentation was underway, fermenting juice was moved to barrels to complete yeast and malolactic fermentation. <br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Aging Notes:</span><br> The wine was aged sur lies, for 14-16 months, in a selection of 67% new Seguin Moreau French oak barrels and 33% one-year old American oak Seguin Moreau barrels.

It possesses a beautiful balance of rich, complex, seamlessly meshed chardonnay flavors, which reflect its Carneros appellation, Sonoma single-vineyard origin. On the nose the wine exhibits fragrant aromas of mandarin orange, mango, honey, hazelnut, and vanilla. On the palate the wine displays firm acidity, with meyer lemon, peach, tangerine, and vanilla notes, followed by mineral, and light caramel notes on the lengthy, layered finish. <bR><Br> This sumptuous golden blonde chardonnay is drinking beautifully now in its youth, and will continue to evolve and mature throughout the course of this decade. <br><br> <span style="font-weight: bold; color: #1E347C;">Technical Notes: </span><br> <table style= border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td> Vintage:</td> <td> 2003</td> </tr> <tr> <td> Appellation: </td> <td> Carneros</td> </tr> <tr> <td> Vineyard:</td> <td> Sangiacomo Vineyard, Home Ranch </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Case Production: </td> <td>214</td> </tr> <tr> <td> Bottling Date:</td> <td> April 8, 2005</td> </tr> <tr> <td> Release Date: </td> <td> June 2005 </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Harvest Date: </td> <td> September 30, 2003</td> </tr> <tr> <td> Brix: </td> <td> 24.5 degrees </td> </tr> <tr> <td> pH: </td> <td> 3.47</td> </tr> <tr> <td> TA:</td> <td> 5.7 g/l </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Alcohol: </td> <td> 14.2%</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <br> <a href="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/?category=134" style="text-decoration: none; color: #a60000; font-weight: bold;" target=_top> Return to Peters Family Wine List</a> </P> <P><B>Other products in the winery <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Category134" TITLE="Peters Family Winery">Peters Family Winery</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product617 TITLE="Peters Family 2004 Chardonnay, Sangiacomo Vineyard"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/flatiron/images/Peters-family-carneros-chard-04[th].jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="Peters Family 2004 Chardonnay, Sangiacomo Vineyard" NAME="Peters Family 2004 Chardonnay, Sangiacomo Vineyard" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/flatiron/Product617 TITLE="Peters Family 2004 Chardonnay, Sangiacomo Vineyard">Peters Family 2004 Chardonnay, Sangiacomo Vineyard</A> -- <a href="http://wine.appellationamerica.com/wine-region/Carneros-~-Los-Carneros.html" target=_new>Carneros -
