HARVEST Harvest commenced from our estate vineyard in Alexander Valley and from the vineyards in the Russian River Valley and Mendocino County from August 23 through October 5, 2000. Sugar average was 23.1 Brix, optimal for developing Chardonnay aroma and flavor while preserving the grape's natural acidity and moderate alcohol. The pressed juice was redolent of bright green apple and newly ripe pear.
WINEMAKING Cool, handpicked grapes were barrel fermented in 100% French Oak (30% in new barrels). Partial malolactic fermentation imparted a creamy texture to the wine while still retaining much of its natural acidity. Extended sur lie contact added further depth and complexity. The wine remained in barrel for seven months prior to bottling and was aged for one year prior to release.
FINISHED WINE The 2000 Chardonnay possesses a complex floral and mineral bouquet with bright notes of green apple, citrus, butter and toasted oak. On the palate, this wine is rich and vibrant with flavors that include fresh apple, pear and citrus, balanced with honey and a moderate amount of toasty oak and creamy lees character. This wine has a long, expansive finish that ends with just the right amount of acidity to make it an ideal compliment to many types of cuisine.
