Since the early 1980's Hudson Vineyards has been the source for some of the finest Chardonnay grapes in California. A pioneer in the Carneros district, Lee Hudson has developed a reputation as a perfectionist grapegrower. The list of his clients reads like a Who's Who of California Chardonnay--Ramey, Neyers, Patz & Hall, Kistler, Kongsgaard, Lewis, and many more.
Now he has begun making wine under the Hudson Vineyards label. He certainly has unsurpassed raw materials, and with his perfectionist approach, he has turned that into great Chardonnay.
Winemaker's Notes:
The 2009 Hudson Vineyards Chardonnay is a golden hued wine, with beautiful high-toned notes of lemon oil and tarragon. Medium to full bodied, this wine has a remarkably long finish that is framed by refreshing acidity and white stones. Expect bright flavors of harvest apples, toast and minerals on the tightened finish. For an ideal meal pairing, consider roasted lobster with coral oil and tarragon.
