| 2004 CHARDONNAY |
|
We experimented with this Chardonnay. In an effort to see the effect of leaving Chardonnay on its lees as long as possible, we left this in barrel for ten months. As a result, it has great complexity and is relatively immune to oxidation. It also possesses abundant fruit and high acidity. An interesting, if not idiosyncratic Chardonnay.
