Iron Horse Vineyards’ 2005 Estate Chardonnay was produced from the winery’s estate vineyards in Sonoma County’s Green Valley appellation. Iron Horse Chardonnays have a bright, distinctive quality that the winery continues to deliver with each celebrated vintage and the 2005 Estate Chardonnay follows a procession of six consecutive vintages garnering 90+ point ratings in Wine Enthusiast. Named one of Wine & Spirits’ Top 100 Wineries of the Year a astounding nine times lands Iron Horse in the magazine’s Hall of Fame and makes it one of the major iconic wineries of Sonoma County. The 2005 Estate Chardonnay was served at the Governor’s Ball of the Golden Globe Awards. Iron Horse successfully adds layers of complexity to their Estate Chardonnay by keeping the oak beautifully integrated in the wine while refraining from malolactic fermentation. On the nose, aromas of grilled bananas and pears with light citrus and almond notes lead into a luscious mouthful of green apples, pears and marmalade on the finish.
