Hahn Chardonnay (NEW)
California

Adam LaVarre, winemaker, writes: “The 2005 Hahn Estates Chardonnay is our most intense Chardonnay to date. From the day of bottling, I knew we had hit a special flavor profile. Really pretty aromatics of peaches, pineapples, and lemon zest. There are some subtle oak nuances, primarily in the form of a delicate caramel and butterscotch layer. Good cool climate acidity extends the finish.”

Distinctive black cherry and spice aromas with a hint of old world bacon fat in the background. Lush flavors of red fruits, blackberry, and pomegranate wrap around the tongue in traditional Pinot Noir style,” states Hahn winemaker, Adam Lavarre.

Toad Hollow Pinot Rose

At a time when most American Rose wines have either an overabundance of residual sugar or are “flabby” and lacking in acidity, we here at Toad Hollow continue to produce a true French-Style, bone dry, and elegant Rose wine produced from the noble Pinot Noir grape. This is a wine that is great with sushi and wasabi or spicy Thai food.
