Chardonnay, Napa Valley, 2005

:Wine Rating
:Wine Type
Our Chardonnay fruit was 100% whole-cluster-pressed to minimize astringency from the skins. Two-thirds of the juice was fermented in French oak barrels, 32% new, at cool temperatures to foster a perfect balance of ripe fruit, natural acidity and toasty oak. The remainder was fermented in stainless steel tanks to enhance the final blend’s fresh fruit character, with those lots transferred to French barrels after fermentation completed. Roughly 16% of the wine – primarily the higher-acid lots – underwent malolactic fermentation, with 100% aging in barrels for seven months with frequent hand-stirring of the yeast lees.
