We have eagerly awaited the release of our first wine created “From Grape to Bottle” by Heidi Barrett just as the wine world has waited for the release of her only Chardonnay.   Here's a video of Heidi talking about the 2008 Chardonnay:

Try our wine

This wine is gorgeous! At first glance the golden color is alluring. The aromas are vibrant with hints of fresh stone fruit and honeysuckle. Flavors of tropical fruit, lychee, and lemon custard resonate through the broad mid-palate. The wine seamlessly transitions to a long, lingering finish that will draw you back for yet another sip. 

The 2008 Chardonnay grapes were sourced from select vineyards from the Russian River Appellation.  After a gentle pressing, the wine was fermented at cold temperatures to retain the beautiful, floral aromas. This technique cannot be rushed nor replicated on a large scale. 

As much as we love the Chardonnays that we have made up to this point, the 2008 is hands down the best we have ever produced.
