Tasting Notes
Generous layers of golden apple, pear tart, lemon curd, and mandarin zest introduce this powerful wine from Westside Farms. The entry is particularly round and full, with plenty of fruit flavors, graham cracker crust, and an impression of vanilla crème brulee. This richness is balanced by a pronounced natural acidity that provides lift and freshness from beginning to end.
Vineyard Notes
Just four miles up Westside Road from our winery, the 40-acre Westside Farms vineyard sits along the banks of the winding Russian River. The Chardonnay grown here is a particular favorite of ours. The vines were planted in 1989 to Chardonnay Clone 4. With deep, river-deposited sandy loam soils, the cool evenings prolong the ripening process, yielding consistently elegant, intense fruit.
