RouteStock Route 121 Carneros Chardonnay 2019
This wine is a blend of three separate clones of Chardonnay: Wente (61%), Dijon 76 (31%) and
Chardonnay Musque (8%). This trio of clones gives the wine greater complexity, depth of flavor and
aromatics than any single clone wine.
The wine shows a beautiful light straw color with seductive aromas of Meyer lemon, wet stone,
lemon thyme, melon and ginger. The wine fills the pallet beautifully with a brightness and liveliness
combined with just enough richness to not be heavy that shows the Carneros region’s strengths to
the best degree. The exotic flavors of this well-balanced Chardonnay are of Meyer lemon rind, fresh
tarragon, honeydew melon and jasmine tea and that transitions to an amazingly balanced mouth-feel
and lengthy finish.
