The 2019 Chardonnay is 85% from the Lloyd Vineyard in Alexander Valley off of Soda Rock Road, 5% from Mark Way Vineyard in the Russian River Valley, 5% from the Prior Vineyard in Sonoma Valley, 4% from the very old Lolonis Vineyard in Redwood Valley, and 1% Viognier from Morrison Ranch in Suisun Valley. The Lloyd portion was harvested in 3 picks, two were early for acid and one was a bit later for brighter more lush tropical flavors. All lots were whole cluster pressed co-fermented in stainless steel, then transferred to neutral oak barrels for 10 weeks before being racked back to stainless steel and prepared for bottling.
