"Chardonnay has a thousand different faces, and this one is out of left field, like an obscure film festival movie. The flinty mineral sulphide layer engages you aromatically and engages you on the palate. It has a lot less oak, and a lot more personality." - Cameron Douglas (MS)

Winemaker's Notes
The grapes were picked in late April. They were lightly crushed and pressed while still cold, retaining their pure flavors. The wine was fermented in oak allowing subtle texture and complexity to be added. Natural yeast fermented the wine slowly to keep the softness and texture of the wine. It was aged on lees in oak with minimal intervention.
