2006 'Vine One' Chardonnay
Chardonnay vine in the field which produced a unique fruit. Aromatic and intense, we believed the fruit of this single vine would make an exceptional wine. Over the past 25 years we have grafted bud wood from that original "Vine One" to over 5000 vines. With an entire field now producing this special fruit, we have crafted our fourth vintage of Vine One Chardonnay. Because so many Chardonnay wines today emphasize their oak character, we wanted to return to old world techniques for making a wine that distinguishes itself with the quality of its fruit. To reach this goal we fermented about half of the wine in tank and the remaining half in French oak barrels. The stainless steel component showcases the unique fruit in this wine while the barrel component adds a texture and richness to the final blend. Look for the lively aromas of apricot, peach, and floral notes. The fruit shines in this lightly-oaked wine and a mineral component adds to the complexity. The bright acidity and lean style make it a great food wine. Enjoy it with Rosemary Roasted Chicken or fresh seafood.
