  May 22, 2015 - 'this wine is not protected from oxygen.' John Konsgaard is the consulting winemaker, his style shows contact with O2. All heritage selections of Chardonnay, from 4 sites on the ranch. lots of oak expressed on the nose. getting into wintermint aromas. the fruit is picked at night under lights, whole cluster pressed. 70% new Francois Freres, medium toast. full malo, stirred sur lie for 2 years. not sulphured until the winter of the second year. 'the death and resurrection.' 'the bones of Chardonnay, not the fruit of Chardonnay.' wow on the palate, again, some big ripe green apple aromas. damn fine wine.
