Harvest
began early in 2013 during the last days of August. It somewhat took us by surprise as we were in
the midst of bottling and had to shift to harvesting which is an arduous task.
The nature of farming is humbling since the weather drives the process. Little did we know at the time that 2013 was
the start of August harvests that have continued every year since.
This Estate Chardonnay is a forceful
wine. The drought was influential in giving power and concentration from
beginning to end. Trademark aromas of honeysuckle, lime zest, hazelnut and
earth come through with abundance. On the palate the flavors are still coming
together with mouth-coating acidity and generous impressions of lemon, gardenia
flowers and glycerin--a sign for long life and evolution.
This
wine is remarkably similar to one of our earlier vintages, 1984, which aged
beautifully for twenty- five years. A great success.
