Sipsy
Carneros, CA - The Prisoner Chardonnay presents as a rich, full-bodied white with an inviting depth from the moment it hits the glass. Aromas unfold with vanilla, baked apple, and hints of tropical fruit, while delicate notes of almond and toasted oak add complexity and warmth. On the palate, it delivers lush concentration without heaviness, showing pineapple and ripe pear alongside creamy texture and subtle but well-integrated oak. The wine carries a balanced acidity that provides lift and structure, helping the flavors stay bright from first sip through a lingering, softly spicy finish. Its winemaking style highlights generous fruit while maintaining finesse, resulting in a Chardonnay that is approachable yet layered enough to reward thoughtful pairing. A touch of creamy vanilla linger intertwines with citrus-zested brightness, giving it a wide, inviting profile suitable for a variety of dishes. This Chardonnay shines with roasted poultry, particularly duck prepared with thin slices of orange or a glaze that echoes citrus notes. It also pairs nicely with seafood, creamy pasta, or soft cheeses, inviting multiple courses to explore the wine’s evolving character as it breathes. Enjoy now or cellar for a few years to savor subtle shifts in aroma and texture.
