TASTING NOTES
And what better wine with which to makethis point than one that honors the memory ofone of America’s musical icons — Frank Sinatra?
The young Sinatra had a wonderful voice inhis youth, one that stood up to big band backingwith power and beautiful pitch. As Sinatra aged,his voice became gruffer, but he made up for itwith unique phrasing and one-of-a-kind style.
Likewise, this bottling of Chardonnay hasevolved since the Vinesse tasting panel first sam-pled it in 2003. Back then, in its youth, it wasdominated by butter and oak notes. About a yearlater, the fruit components — apple, pear andcitrus — had asserted themselves, relegating the
butter and oak to “backing vocal” status.Now, five years after it was crafted, the vari-
ous aromas and flavors are co-existing harmo-niously. Take one sip, and the butter and oakwill dominate. Take another, and the fruit comesto the forefront.
This is a rare opportunity to sniff, swirl, sipand savor a perfectly-aged bottle of Chardonnaythat is in its prime right now. Think of Sinatra athis best, and this wine will vinously reflect hisimage.
To fully enjoy the Sinatra Chardonnay experi-ence, we suggest popping the cork, pouring aglass for you and another for your significantother, dimming the lights, lighting a few candles,and playing “The Way You Look Tonight” onyour home stereo.
That’s living life Sinatra-style.
