Specs | VARIETAL Chardonnay |
Vineyard | Encompassing about 2,000 vineyard acres, the Sonoma Coast AVA stretches from the northern coastline of Sonoma County to the west, encompassing the Russian River Valley and Los Carneros among other sub regions. Much of the region sees strong maritime influence. The Chardonnay grapes benefit from cooling coastal fog that enhances acidity while warmer locations contribute ripe tropical fruit notes. |
Production | Grapes were hand-sorted and 100% whole cluster pressed. The wine saw two-thirds malolactic fermentation, then was aged sur lie for 8 months in a combination of new and neutral French oak. |
Winemaking Notes | Early 2018 was defined by record setting rainfall aer five years of drought. The abundance of rain pushed the start of the growing season later. During late spring and summer a series of unusual heat spikes accelerated canopy and shoot growth, leaving clusters with smaller berries and lighter weights than normal, all of which was good for the fruit. 2018 produced closer to average yields with similar harvest dates as previous years with overall exceptional quality. All fruit was picked before the Sonoma fires began on October 8th. |
