Tasting notes
The 2013 Chardonnay Sophia's Vineyard emerges from a site planted in 1972 on own-rooted vines. Here the flavors are bright and nicely focused throughout, with plenty of orchard fruit, mint and floral signatures. At the same time, there is lovely textural depth and resonance to balance some of the more high-toned aromatics. Thisis an absolutely delicious Chardonnay that will especially appeal to readers who might find some of the other Chardonnays in the range too big.

The 2013 Chardonnay Sophia’s Vineyard is a cuvée of 175 cases aged in 40% in new French oak that spent 14 months on its lees prior to bottling. This wine shows plenty of tropical pineapples, orange marmalade notes, crushed rock and melons. There is a floral note as well. It is medium to full-bodied, light-straw in color, with excellent viscosity, impressive concentration and a long finish. It should drink nicely for 4-5 years.
