Crosby Roamann Maeve Vineyard Chardonnay

Crosby Roamann is a boutique California winery owned by Sean and Juliana McBride. Originally from New York, the couple released their first commercial vintage in 2010 but started making wine in 2006. 

Maeve Vineyard is planted on a steep amphitheater hillside just outside of Los Gatos. Whole-cluster pressed into stainless steel tanks for fermentation, the wine was aged in a combination of steel tanks and neutral oak barrels. The resulting wine is distinctly elegant and lithe. Aromas of fresh red apple, citrus rind and wet river stones are complemented by the lightest suggestion of vanilla and cashew. Bright acidity and silky texture bring focus to the medium bodied palate. This isn’t your typical rich and oaky Cali Chardonnay.
