Critic tasting note: "Impressive, delicious, a tremendous wine in every respect. It's powerfully smoky, with spiced oak everywhere, rich in buttered toast and vanilla, but such pretty fruit underneath, it's easily able to support it. Mangoes, pineapples, peaches, ripe Bosc pears, loads of dusty spices and a rich, full creamy texture." - 94/100, Wine Enthusiast

The core of our Chardonnay grapes for the Unfiltered series come from the Newton estate Vineyard and a few select growers all within the Napa Carneros AVA. Carneros is marked by well-drained soils and rolling hills that border the San Pablo Bay. Sea breezes combined with morning and afternoon fog, keep temperatures cool and consistent. As a result, the area supports a long growing season, which allow our grapes to achieve even and optimal ripeness—leading to wines of exceptional length and freshness.

All fruit was handpicked at night, whole bunch pressed, and 100% barrel fermented utilizing indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation proceeded naturally and finished on 85% of the lots, we retained a slight amount of malic acid in the final blend to elevate and lengthen the wine.

Vintage quality: Legendary
Current condition: Ready to drink
The 2002 vintage for California was exceptionally good.
A smooth spring made for a successful flowering and the good conditions were only set to continue. Apart from the odd heat spike in late summer, the weather remained sublime throughout the year. The cool August...
