Carpe Diem Chardonnay has an intense light yellow straw color. The wine exhibits a bright array of citrus flavors at first, followed by intense flavors of ripe pears, apples and the delicate scent of pineapple. The wine has a creamy texture coming from many months of delicate lees stirring in French oak barrels, followed by a long, rich and seamless finish. The conditions are present for this blend to develop complex and smooth flavors within one to three years of age. This elegant wine is truly a classic and shows the delicate nuances of fruit from the Firepeak vineyard from the edna Valley.
