2013 Maroon Chardonnay, Cathartes Vineyard, Oak Knoll District, Napa Valley
We cold-fermented this wine in tanks with minimal oak and no malolactic fermentation to express the natural varietal character of the fruit.
The Wine: Our 2013 Maroon Oak Knoll District Chardonnay was harvested from the Oak Knoll District. This wine was whole cluster pressed, then cold-fermented in tanks with minimal oak and no malolactic fermentation. With this wine, we were looking to express the natural varietal character of the fruit.
The Story: The wine has rich aromas of ripe citrus fruits. On the palate, the wine is nicely balanced with citrus fruits and hints of ripe tropical fruits. This wine has a nice acidity that maintains the wine's freshness from start to finish.
The Bottom Line: Drink Upon Release through 2017.
