$60.00 per bottle
Description:
The source for our Barcaglia Lane Chardonnay is a single rolling vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Developed for us by the Dutton Family in 1998, the site consists of 3 sloping blocks planted to three distinct clones - 15, Dijon, and Old Wente - which yield wonderfully ripe and complex fruit character. Though recent crop levels have been exceptionally low, these vines are generating fruit of increasing depth and intensity every year. The 2003 vintage was fermented with native yeasts, aged sur lies in 100% French oak, and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Compelling aromas of toasty oak, integrated with orange peel and citrus blossom lead the way, followed by rich and at the same time crisp fruit flavors, nuanced with elements of exotic spice. Thickly textured, balanced and complex, the wine is absolutely delicious. 400 cases produced.
