Effortless Perfection
The 2013 is one of our most popular vintages and once you try it, you will understand why. The creamy, refined, concentrated Chardonnay has subtle opulence with high acidity. The 2013 has wonderful ageing potential and is currently drinking beautifully.
Weaves together a mix of grapefruit and lemon notes, with green apple, melon and white peach details. A juicy, complex and approachable Chardonnay, with a very long finish. - Wine Spectator, 94 points
We discovered the Buena Tierra vineyard in the Russian River Valley, by meeting a vintner, Eugena Keegan, who bought chardonnay grapes from the Sonoma coast. She asked if we'd like to barrel taste the wine. The wine was stunning. She was moving to Oregon, so we approached the owner of Buena Tierra Vineyards on the Russian River in Sonoma County about buying the grapes. The owners were reluctant because the vines were at the time 35 years old and production was down. We offered to pay full production price for whatever grapes were harvested, an agreement that continues to this day.
