Tasting Notes
The nose is fresh and lively with flint, green apple, fresh lemon, honeysuckle and a hint of savory mushroom powder. The mineral-driven palate unfolds with notes of honeycomb, crisp apple, lime zest and Chamomile. The wine is precise, complex and refreshing, with tangy acidity and a beautiful core of salinity that is complemented by a distinctive creamy finish from malolactic fermentation.
Vineyard Notes
Pellegrini’s Olivet Lane Vineyard was planted in 1975 to Wente selection on AXR rootstock. The vineyard sits on 65 acres of sloping benchland in the Santa Rosa Plain, in between the warmer Westside Road region and the cooler Green Valley, where warm summer days are moderated by cool breezes and chilly evening temperatures. The combination of low temperatures, regular fog intrusion and well drained loam, clay soils create an excellent environment for growing Chardonnay that develop cool-climate characteristics and impeccable acid at fairly low sugars. The wines from this vineyard simultaneously express power and finesse, and they do so with tremendous balance.
