| Crafted to celebrate Smoking Loon's 11th Vintage—our Steel Anniversary—the 2011 Smoking Loon "Steelbird" is a Chardonnay with a difference. We kicked the oak to the curb, aging this wine for 8 months in 100% stainless steel. The wine opens with a lovely floral bouquet of orange blossom and honeysuckle, followed by notes of apricot, pear nectar and ruby red grapefruit. This medium-bodied wine is bright and vibrant on the palate, with refreshing flavors of Meyer lemon, Honeycrisp apple, and stone fruit with a touch of crème fraiche. |
