Winemaker's Notes:
The 2010 McManis Family Vineyards Chardonnay is medium straw in color. Pineapple, Peach, Pear, Melon and Banana can all be detected in the nose. Joining the abundance of fruit, are notes of creamy Vanilla. Round and rich are adjectives that immediately come to mind as Pear and tropical fruit flavors coat the mouth. The pleasant flavors linger, long after the wine is swallowed.
