Wine Enthusiast Review
This is a barrel selection from the winery's Sleepy Hollow Vineyard and is one of the most concentrated Chardonnays in California. Has the honeyed richness of a botrytized wine, but is absolutely dry. Tastes like an apricot and pineapple tart, with seasonings of nutmeg, cinnamon, and the smoky, nutty pie crust. Very few California Chardonnays need time, but this one does. Stash until late 2008, but this powerhouse should gradually peak over a decade.

Wine Tasting Notes
Cuvee Carlotta promises to become one of the defining wines in our portfolio. From its lovely lemon zest, pear and nutmeg aromas to its sumptuous ripe tropical flavors, our inaugural vintage of Cuvee Carlotta sets the bar high! Highlighted by concentrated elements of pineapple, ripe peaches and hazelnut, this expressive wine offers a round, voluptuous mid-palate balanced by refreshing acidity. Concluding with a supple and satisfying finish, this tete de cuvee bottling captures both the elegance and opulence that have become hallmarks of Sleepy Hollow Vineyard.
