Ok, I love this wine. Not for everyone as attested to by the overall score, but so unique. A multi-vintage solera blend of Heintz Chard. Minerality and a mouthwatering acidity. Did I mention unique? Got better over four nights with air. From Kevin Kelly of Salinia and the Natural Process Alliance (NPA).

Aug 8th, 2018As noted by others, this is the Salinia Wine Company Wellspring Solera Chardonnay and not Wellspring Cellars. Five vintage solera of West Sonoma Coast Chard from Heintz Vineyard. As in my previous note, this is a nutty, oxidized, apple, orange gold delight with great acidity. Will not appeal to everyone, but we love it.

Really interesting. As recommended, will decant and enjoy day 2. Then will let the other bottles sit for a few more years.

You wouldn't pick this as a Chardonnay blind - it's more like an oaky Vin Santo. This makes given the solera aging (NV). I don't like raisinated wines, and this falls (barely) into that category. I do, however, applaud the wine maker for trying something different.
