Our 2006 Palomino-Chardonnay

A one-of-a-kind opportunity that may not happen again

The brutal 2006 harvest brought heat and drought that was unusual even by Texas standards. Crop yields were severely reduced across the board, and grapes were no exception. The yields of our already ridiculously low-yielding Palomino and Chardonnay vineyards were reduced to barely more than ONE barrel of wine. However, the most unusual thing of all was that for the first time, 100% of the Chardonnay that went into this white wine came from the original Inwood Estates Vineyard on Inwood Road in the heart of urban Dallas. This wine was released December 1, 2007 and just 300+ bottles were available. It is available only from the winery by direct purchase and will sell for $79.50, no case discounts. Although the 2006 compares very favorably to same vintage French White Burgundy at release, the wine will develop much more complexity with a year or so in the bottle and should be the perfect holiday wine for Thanksgiving/Christmas of 2008.

This is a photo of our award-winning and critically acclaimed 2005 Palomino-Chardonnay. The 2006 is now released and in very limited distribution (see below). The Chardonnay grapes in this wine came from the original Inwood Estates Vineyard on Inwood Road in the heart of urban Dallas. 300+ bottles available only.

Yes! It is amazing! The picture above is of our award-winning and critically acclaimed 2005 Palomino-Chardonnay. That wine was named one of the Top 10 Wines of 2006 by Appellation America in San Francisco. Reduced crops often yield very high quality wines and the 2006 has dense concentrations of pineapple, melon, cantaloupe, coconut and the rich, creamy texture that only Palomino produces. However, the signature component of this wine is its minerality from the high-calcium soils of North Texas. This is the element that has sommeliers, chefs and retail buyers across Texas comparing it to famous French white wines noteworthy for their great pairings with fine foods. Only 300+ bottles available. Call 214-902-9452 or click to enter our store below
