SOLD OUTThis is only the second vintage of Chardonnay from our low-yielding Bell Mountain vineyard. 2005 offered us challenging growing conditions. A cool, wet spring dramatically increased disease pressure in the vineyard. We had to work creatively and make difficult decisions to honor our commitment to chemical-free farming, while still maintaining our high standards for fruit and wine quality. This required removing a significant portion of our crop. The result is beautiful balance, deep concentration, and not much wine.
