The story of Seabiscuit lives on in the heart of America. Everyone loves the tale of this stocky, knobby-kneed racehorse who triumphed over adversity to become one of the greatest champions of the 20th century. During the 1930s, as America struggled to overcome the Great Depression, the determined spirit of this unlikely victor reflected the mood of the nation. After setting a track record at Santa Anita in 1940, the spectacular racing career of this legendary Thoroughbred came to an end. Seabiscuit was retired to a ranch in Mendocino County's Redwood Valley, where his memory inspires our winemaking endeavors. Seabiscuit Ranch Chardonnay is a limited-release version of a "reserve" style Chardonnay. Rich and complex with abundant tropic fruit flavors and a core of pleasant toasty oak aromas, all supported by bright acidity. Layers of green apple and pears fill the mouth finishing long and crisp. This lovely Chardonnay is an elegant accompaniment to a wide array of foods. Serve with seafood, poultry or light pasta, or as a companion to cheese or hors d'oeuvres.
