Overview

95 James Suckling

Details

Winery Notes:

Planted in a pure sand subset of the Gold Ridge soil series

Bottled since 1991. The vineyard that surrounds the winery just north of the small town of Graton. Planted in a pure sand subset of the Gold Ridge soil series. A Chardonnay of delineated concentration, energy and verve with stone and orchard fruit toned aromas capped by a penetrating minerality. One of our best examples of the tension that can be created between density and lift.

95 Points James Suckling

Very floral, with aromas of honeysuckle, jasmine, oyster shells and some seaweed and fresh thyme, following through to a medium body and very fine phenolics that take you down the length of the wine. Drink or hold.

Green tinge to the yellow color. It’s ripe, with tropical fruit, sliced mangoes, peaches & pineapple, yet there’s a green apple note as well. Full-bodied & dense, with a creamy texture & a long & sophisticated finish..

You can feel the skins from the grapes, with an apple skin, pear & light pineapple character & texture. It’s full & layered with a sense of muscle & form. Creme caramel & flan notes. Snappy at the end. Give it 3 or 4 years

Flamboyant & flavorful with ripe strawberry, iodine, bark & thyme character. Medium- to full-bodied with medium round tannins that nicely texture the wine. It tightens up at the end to give it tension. Drinkable now, try after 2027.
