<h4>The Vinification</h4>
<br>
The grapes were harvested September 7 - 19, 2001, then gently whole-cluster pressed and barrel fermented in premium French oak barrels, 41% of which were new. After undergoing 100% malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged on its lees for nine months, bottled in June 2002, and released in the spring of 2004.
<br>
<h4>The Clones</h4>
The vineyard’s 30 acres of Chardonnay are planted with three different clones. The blend of clones in the 2001 vintage is 52% See, 38% Rued and 10% Spring Mountain.
<br>
<h4>Tasting Notes</h4>
The classic Golden Delicious apple aromas of the See clone are nicely complemented by a floral note of gardenia from the Rued clone and hints of tamarind and spice from the Spring Mountain. The palate is lively and crisp, with excellent structure and balance; a touch of honey and toffee, hazelnut and marzipan — contributed by the French oak and aging on the lees — harmonize with the elegant fruit. The wine opens up in the glass and ends with a long finish.
