Late Harvest

2005 Clarksburg Chardonnay

Tanis Late Harvest is an exquisite white wine crafted from Chardonnay grapes, hailing from the renowned Clarksburg region. This 2005 vintage showcases a beautiful golden hue, inviting the senses with its luxuriously rich aromas of ripe stone fruits and honeyed sweetness. The wine is medium-bodied, boasting a delightful balance of vibrant acidity that adds a refreshing brightness to the palate. It features a prominent fruit intensity with luscious notes of peach, apricot, and a hint of tropical flair, making it incredibly enjoyable. The mouthfeel is complemented by soft, well-integrated tannins, which provide a silky texture without overwhelming the wine's delicate nature. With a pleasingly off-dry finish, Tanis Late Harvest is a charming expression of Chardonnay that captures the essence of its terroir and is perfect for both sipping and pairing with a range of desserts.

Region:


Clarksburg

Lying south of Sacramento in the California Delta, Clarksburg is a small but productive AVA where quality Chardonnay and Chenin Blanc grow in abundance. The San Francisco Bay has a strong influence here, bringing in fog and cool breezes that temper the valley heat. With its flat, mineral-rich clay soils, vines thrive in Clarksburg, needing little attention to produce plenty of quality grapes. Sauvignon Blanc, Viognier, Albariño and the red variety Petite Sirah also produce great wines here.
