2010 Chardonnay, Estate, Russian River Valley 750ml 2-Pack
You’ll find flavors of green apple and loquat followed by a citrus finish with balanced acidity. From our own vineyard in the Russian River Valley, this wine was made entirely in stainless steel, following the methods and traditions found in Chablis, France. Warm days and cool nights naturally develop good acid, making this an ideal food wine. During fermentation, we split this into two separate lots, each using its own yeast in order to create a variety of flavor aromatics to work with at blending.

On the nose, apple blossoms, vanilla, citrus with a hint of toasted oak. On the palate, you’ll discover crisp green apple and butterscotch. Balanced with good acidity, this wine is meant for food and will age for many years.
From our own vineyard in the Russian River Valley, our reserve was harvested over a period of three weeks. We then fermented this in five separate lots using two different cultured yeasts and one natural yeast. What resulted was a fantastic selection of wines to choose from in putting together this blend. Using 10% new French Oak, we then refined our lots further. Our reserve is truly very special, because it is a blend of our best barrels to create a style that is reminiscent of the style of Chardonnay produced in Northern Burgundy.

Barbara and I moved to Sonoma County 10 years ago because of our passion for great wine. After teaching about wine for 15 years, I was driven to follow my heart and become a wine maker. All of our friends kept telling us we were an Inspiration because we followed our dreams. Through hard work and determination, I was able to leave my fulltime corporate life three years ago and focus on making fantastic, balanced, food-friendly wines and offer them at a reasonable price.
Today, our winery produces approximately 1500 cases of wine annually; our average lot sizes are around 200 cases and can be as small at 20 cases, like our 100 year old “front yard” Zinfandel.
