Description

RP 94 “Even better is the compelling 2008 Chardonnay True Course, which is also made from an Old Wente clone and is bottled unfiltered after indigenous yeast fermentations and 17 months in wood. A beautiful perfume of white peaches, white currants, pear, buttered citrus and wet rocks jumps from the glass of this stunning, full-bodied Chardonnay. Sadly, there are only about 100 cases of this glorious white. Since this winery is located on the Silverado Trail, just north of St. Helena, I have included their two Sonoma Chardonnays along with their Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. The talented French winemaking consultant, Luc Morlet, assists at this estate. Both Chardonnays are beautiful wines. (RP)” (December 2010)
