2010 90+ Cellars Chardonnay Reserve Lot 40 Dry Creek Valley

Story

Pacific ocean breezes gently cool the vineyards of southern Dry Creek Valley producing Chardonnay fruit that is refreshingly juicy and sweet. The result isa wine that’s full bodied with a twang of cool acidity. Fermentation in oak barrels and a second malolactic fermentation also give it a delicate, creamy texture. This is one well pampered Chardonnay.

Taste

Vibrant aromas of melon, pear, and lightly baked apples hover above notes of vanilla bean and flaky pastry dough. the wine’s plump texture is balanced by flavors of fresh orchard fruit and a dose of minerality. It begs to be served alongside grilled scallops, creamy pasta, or roasted chicken, but is equally happy hanging out by itself.

Appellation and Vineyard

Tom Larson once owned this single vineyard in the mountains of the Red Hills. This Vineyard is where for the past 10 years, all grapes have been organically grown and sustainably farmed. This appellation sits at the highest section between the Vaca mountain range and the Mayacamas mountain range. The Mayacamas are famous for great Cabernet wine, due in part to ancient pyroclastic soils that contain volcanic glass.

Winemaker Notes

Forward complex blends with ripe fruit flavors; black currant and spicy berry fruit with gentle oak nuances.
