Vineyard Notes: This wine features two well known Russian River Valley vineyards for this wine: Hopkins River Ranches on Eastside Road; and Balletto's Spiderweb Ranch on Guernveille Road.

Winemaking Notes: Two different yeast strains were used to create more complex flavors with 50% of the Chardonnay barrel fermented in Damy French oak barrels. 50% of the blend underwent malolactic fermentation.

Tasting Notes: Meyer lemon preserves and grapefruit notes emerge from this energetic vintage. Medium bodied with a solid sense of minerality, this chardonnay opens up to layers of bright stone fruit and apple with great freshness and length.
