A light and sunny golden hue in the glass; aromas suggest oyster shells, fresh herbs and lemon rind, with a hint of vanilla. The mouth is medium-bodied and silky, with plenty of saturated and juicy white and yellow fruits. The finish is brisk and lacy, lingering with a touch of citrus and white peach. Certainly our most noble and balanced Chardonnay, a direct result of the impeccable terroir of the Alder Springs Vineyard ranch; open this next to your favorite “label” California Chardonnay and see how it compares.
2009 Clearwater Creek Chardonnay Mendocino
2.1.2012
 In the depths of northern Mendocino County is a patchwork of some of the
most breathtaking vineyards the golden state can claim, and it’s here
where our latest—and possibly greatest—Chardonnay was born.
The Alder Springs Vineyard is one of the leading sources of fine grapes
for northern California’s most hallowed names. Patz & Hall. Behrens
& Hitchcock. Arnot Roberts. Copain. And now our very own label,
Clearwater Creek, joins this impressive list of insiders who know great
terroir when they see it—and how important it is that this quality
translates into great wine in the bottle.
Our Chardonnay is medium-bodied, silky on the tongue and fruity, with
just the right balance of vanilla and spice, a delicious and pure white
that glows with the inner beauty of a spring sunset off the Mendocino
coast, with sea spray in the air and the cooling influence of pine trees
a tingle at your neck. Pure, juicy and refreshing, a perfect complement
to Thai or Vietnamese cuisine.

Clearwater Creek Pinot Noir Carneros 2009
United States
/
California
From a knockout vintage we were able to secure some top-notch fruit from northern California’s go-to address for cool weather Pinot Noir—the Carneros region. Cool fogs in the morning keep the California sun at bay, allowing Pinot Noir to develop slowly and deliciously, with spice and sweet fruit and plenty of character. What value!

Clearwater Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County 2007
United States
/
California
The signature of the world-renowned Knights Valley is all over this wine—hints of black olives and autumn underbrush give an earthy, sultry edge to supple and silky Cabernet fruit. We added 20% Cabernet Franc to boot; a little bit of Bordeaux nobility, a whole lot of California sheer fruit and silky power.
