Chardonnay
Scherrer Vineyard, 2014

$ 54.00$ 110.00

This is a rich and complex expression of Chardonnay from the Scherrer Vineyard. The grapes were whole-cluster pressed to French oak cooperage, where primary and malolactic fermentation occurred. All of these elements were allowed to integrate during its more than yearlong residence in wood. It was bottled without fining or filtration to respect both its delicacy and its more substantial qualities.

Winemaker's Notes

Nice, fresh green apple nose with a slight lemon-lime nuance greets the nose on first approach.  In the mouth it is just rich enough to carry these flavors seamlessly into the gracefully unfolding, surprisingly long finish.  The persistence on the palate is remarkably long for a wine that is not overblown or heavy, still eliciting a healthy salivary response.  I am extremely pleased with how this wine is presenting itself.
