The Judd Vineyard is the highest of the estate vineyards. The wine was whole bunch pressed, fermented using wild yeast, partial malolactic fermentation (94%) and 17% seeing new oak.
This is an exemplary Chardonnay that demonstrates concentration and elegance in the same breath. The nose has an attractive flint and oyster shell aspect to aromatic nectarine and yellow peach, wood spice adds another layer.
The palate has a generous baseline of acidity that creates great contrast against fuller stone fruits and creamy complexity afforded by the malo lactic fermentation. The finish is defined by pristine acidity, new season fig, and stone fruits with a touch of drying almond meal.
