Alchemy of Dreams The Eye

Chardonnay
SKU: JACHR193H

Voluptuous whites are richer in texture, thanks to riper fruit. Most are dry wines that feature the added flavor complexity of new oak barrel use, but a handful are lusciously-sweet late-harvested dessert wines.

FOOD PAIRING: Ideally suited to richer dishes and cooked foods, like GRILLED OR FRIED SEAFOOD, POULTRY & WHITE MEATS, plus dishes featuring BUTTER, ONIONS or NUTS.

Description

In dreams, we are possessed of an alternative vision of reality, and through alchemy, we transform. The alchemy of dreams is therefore the transformation of the unseen into the real, and the spark of life within. With wine transformed from the vessel of the grape into the elixir that fills our glass, we see the magical power of alchemy, where grapes are converted into a new state, wine, that itself elicits dreams… A surreal state in between worlds, the Alchemy of Dreams is creation brought to life… and so, life itself! All our senses are captured through the alchemy of dreams, and our senses lifted to a new dimension as we create our own vision of the world! To further dreams, emotions, creations and transformations… to Alchemy!

Tasting Notes
Aroma: 

Luxurious aromas of vibrant lemon rind, asian pears, and French vanilla.

Palate: 

Enticing notes of ripe golden pears and fresh honeysuckle marry seamlessly as this rich and luscious wine ends in a elegant, well-balanced finish.

Winemaking
Vintage Notes: 

The Eye symbolizes our journey to this Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley; the eye itself represents the visible and the invisible, the paths taken and untaken, and the view of the possible. It is the vision of our journey and the connection from the past to the present and to the future. The magnetic attraction of the eye reminds us of life lived in a very different way. At the first sip of this Russian River Valley Chardonnay, time stops.
