Community Tasting Note

Friday, October 26, 2007 - 2006 WS Top Ten Tasting (NYC): Ranked #8. $75. Represented on the dais by John Kongsgaard. The grapes come from the estate’s 10-acre hilltop vineyard, as well as the well-known Carneros Hyde and Hudson vineyards. Kongsgaard’s father originally purchased the estate’s land to be used as a quarry, but changed his mind. The rocky soil is expressed in the wine. It is made in a simple Burgundian method, with no yeast introduced and natural fermentation allowed to take place, which can take anywhere from one month to one year. Barrel aged for two years. The wine had a light gold color, with juicy apple and peach blossoms on the nose. Lively acidity and fruit intensity. High-toned notes, with no toasty oak flavors. An excellent Napa Chard.
