White

The winemaker Reid Griggs’ first full vintage; this comes from the original Wente selection, planted in 1988 on the upper bench in California sprawl, partial malo, 15% new French oak, puncheons for 18 months. I really believe in getting richness from the phenolics, so the wine is hard-pressed, the juice is browned, and it stays on the full lees for 14 months, then off the lees, with a little into stainless for another four months. The nose is classic cool-climate Chardonnay: white peaches, lemon curd, and dazzling mineral clarity.
