The Tasting Panel, Feb/Mar 2022
This vineyard sits between the shore of the Russian River – on ancient alluvial soil – and a blue heron resting site. Made with certified Biodynamic grapes, this small production, 100% Chardonnay demonstrates the beauty of the variety at this cool climate location. There’s a bright ray of sunshine that alights on lemon biscuits, nutmeg, pine nuts, and MacIntosh apple. Acidity is defined with an edge of minerality. Toasty on the finish with nougat, basil, and chamomile settling on the tongue. – Meridith May
