2008 Barrel Fermented Chardonnay
Wonderfully spicy aromas and flavors, which includes pear, clove and even vanilla. Rich full body that is well balanced and great paired with a cream sauce dish. The winery believes that this wine will age for 4 to 6 years, however if handled correctly you should get 8 to 9 years. Made of 100% Chardonnay grown in the Rouge Valley area, they aged in used oak barrels. Their written goal was not to mask the character of the wine with any heavy oak presents, which they achieved in my opinion. After talking to Bryon Wilson the winemaker you should look forward to the 2009 vintage, is planned to knock your socks off. He did mention the 2010 vintage did not give him the ripeness of the fruit he wanted. However I could tell from talking to him that Foris will be making a fantastic Chardonnay.
