Dry, Medium Bodied style of ChardonnayIndependent wineryLifted blossom florals and white stone fruit. Lovely mineraltiy. The palate has lovely generosity on the front palate, well integrated oak that leads into an elegant soft and focused palate.

Medium straw-green; fashioned from organically gown estate fruit; the barrel ferment and nutty oak contributions are just a little too obvious given the delicacy of the varietal fruit underneath. That is a carping criticism of what is a good wine overall.

Barrel fermented and aged for 9-10 months with little or no malo-lactic, the 2011 Isolation Ridge Chardonnay gives a very good intensity of ripe nectarine, apricot and toast aromas over roasted almonds, cedar and butterscotch. Light to medium-bodied, it has a great concentration of stone fruit and toast flavors with lively acid and a nice silkiness to the texture, finishing long. Though it makes for a fresh, fruit glass now, it should open and evolve, cellaring to 2016+.
