Following up on the much enjoyed previous vintages of the Dreyer Sonoma Chardonnay, comes once again a value priced Sonoma County Chardonnay from the Dreyer Family. This 2004 release is comprised of grapes from selected mature vineyards in Sonoma County, with its fruit coming from vineyards in the Russian River, Alexander Valley, and Knights Valley sub-appellations. This wine was 60% barrel fermented under a French and American Oak regimen and aged sur lie for nine months. Golden in color, the grapes were picked with perfect ripeness and natural acidity. This wine has good balance between its Sonoma County fruit combined with the oak influence resulting in a rich wine showing varietal character and value for the price.
