Always been a favorite CH vineyard for me. Old, dry farmed, shot Wente planted in 1968 at 1200ft elevation. Sadly, this vineyard was ripped out this year 😑 Gorgeous wine. Harmonious, seamless texture with all the breadth I love in CA CH with plenty of acid to hold it all together. Walks the line of richness and focus, like great Meursault. Creamy yet departs mineral and gripping. Fresh meyer lemon curd, ripe yellow apple, crushed stones, cream, apple blossoms, melon skin and verbena. 40% N. oak, Damy/Sirugue
