Tasting Notes
Enticingly complex aromas of lemon zest, white nectarine, lemongrass, and baked pear tart. The palate is at once juicy and tangy, with an unctuous texture contrasted with verve and minerality. This incredibly concentrated and energetic Chardonnay finishes with a silky, mouthcoating creamy texture that lingers with enduring length.
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 low sugars. The wines from this vineyard simultaneously express power and finesse, and they do so with tremendous balance.
