Vintage 2017
94 points
According to the winery, 2017 was predominantly a cool vintage with a warmer than usual finish. This, however, did not affect the quality of the Chardonnay. All over the Coastal regions, harvest was completed before the heat wave. Grapes that remained on the vine throughout the heat spike were pushed slightly beyond normal ripeness, which gave the wines intense fruit character. Blending was important in 2017 to maintain balance and style, but some of the riper lots were fun to pepper in at the blending table. Our tasting notes for 2012 can easily be transposed to the 2017 - still the same tropical, mouth filling, buttery richness; a style of chardonnay that has many admirers among our customer base.
