Variety: 100% Chardonnay Vineyard: Harms Vineyard Location: Napa Valley, CA Alcohol: 12.2% Production: 334 cases

Ripe pear as well as melon and tropical fruits. The wine from the vineyard is soft and fleshy, with rich ripe fruits and a natural opulence. A happy, pleasing Chardonnay.

80% of the wine was harvested early to capture the high natural acidity and maintain a moderate alcohol level, while 20% of the wine was picked later to capture the richness and power of the vineyard site. The fruit was lightly whole cluster pressed before being barrel fermented. The wine underwent 100% malolactic fermentation in 12 older neutral barrels and two new French oak barrels and aged 11 months.

Situated on a hillside above Napa’s Dry Creek Road, Harms Vineyard has been organically farmed for 25 years and biodynamic for 20 years. The healthy soils and wise older vines produce deep and complex wines.
