Hi. Welcome to the Wine Woot-Off. In the music festival of Woot-Offs, you'd be in the downtempo/lounge tent right now. You'd be sitting on a very large bean bag. You'd probably wanna put a towel down first. Enjoy the show.
2013 Ty Caton Chardonnay 750ml 3-Pack
Aromas and flavors of pear and apple with lifted floral notes of citrus blossom and honeysuckle, medium-bodied with juicy acidity with an undercurrent of minerality which carries through a long finish.
We achieve wines of authenticity by working with nature to showcase the true flavors of the grapes. Ty Caton personally manages the entire winemaking process, from planting the vines, to farming the grapes, to making the wine here in Sonoma Valley. By using exclusively estate grown grapes he is able to have complete control over the process and personally tend to the wine from soil to glass. His acute awareness of the land enables him to make wines that show the great potential of the vineyard site.
Ty Caton’s philosophy is that wine is a natural product and should be treated as such. His winemaking uses limited intervention, which allows the wines to speak for themselves and import the true expression of the vineyard. He ferments with wild yeast that naturally occurs in the grapes so that the wines are manipulated as little as possible. As a Sonoma Valley winemaker and grape grower he strives to produce the ‘wow factor’ by creating wines that are bold, highly extracted and beautifully structured. Ty Caton believes that blending is an art form and uses master blending techniques to combine different grape varieties and clones to create wines with many layers of complexity in aroma and flavor. By allowing the grapes to show their true character and enhancing it through blending, Ty Caton is forging a new definition of quality in Sonoma Valley winemaking.
