Santa Barbara County

"Unfiltered"

RELEASE DATE:  JUNE 2007

WINEMAKING NOTES:

This Chardonnay is from our cool climate estate vineyard west of the Santa Rita Hills.  Sorted before whole-cluster pressing into Allier and Vosge French oak barrels.  The wine was barrel-fermented and went through 100% malo-lactic fermentation while resting on the lees for 10 months and bottled unfiltered.

WINE CHEMISTRIES:

Total Acidity: .80g/100 ml
RS: Dry

TASTING NOTES:

This medium-bodied barrel-fermented Chardonnay displays lush pippin apple aromas followed by hazelnut and mineral elements, giving way to buttery, toasty spice background.
