Pearl Handle

2008 Chardonnay Napa Valley

It is said that the gun tamed the west. It is also said that the dainty little Derringer tamed the gambling tables. The mere thought that one of these genteel enforcers might be lying in wait—tucked neatly in a gentleman's vest pocket or in the garter of an attractive gambling house proprietress—tended to bring out the honesty in people. We pay homage to this exquisite instrument with our Pearl Handle Chardonnay.

  • 750 ML $36.00 Qty

Concentrated, round and viscous with sufficient acidity to maintain a full presence from beginning to end. The evolution is smooth and lively and the finish is long and refreshing with complex flavors of fruit and oak.

Spicy pear, fuji apple, vanilla, nuts, toasty oak.

Oak Knoll is a wonderful appellation for Chardonnay. Loamy soils and moderate temperatures allow for full ripening of fruit flavors with balanced acidity.

Hand harvested in the early morning / Whole cluster pressed / Champagne press program used for delicacy / 100% barrel-fermented / 100% malolactic fermentation / 12 months in barrels, aged sur lie with bi-monthly batonnage.

Brimming with spicy pear and toasty oak, Pearl Handle is full bodied enough to play well with asparagus soup, salmon, halibut with lemon pepper, chicken with alfredo sauce, sundried tomato and basil flatbread, and lighter style pork dishes.

Best cheeses: Reggiano, Asiago, Provolone, Triple Cream Brie
