Winemaker Notes

The 1999 Chardonnay vintage was one of the smallest on record at our Mitsuko's Vineyard, begging the adage, "great things come in small packages." A heady bouquet of apple blossom, white peach and toasted almond precede a palate of white peach, nectarine and hints of grapefruit. A wine of wonderful weight and density, with a rich, almost oily, concentration, it finishes with a fine impression of sweetness and length. Vinted in traditional manner, with native yeast in French cooperage, aged 11 months sur-lies and bottled without filtration, our '99 offering maintains the fine lineage of Chardonnays we've fashioned from our Estate vineyard.

Chardonnay Wine

View all products

One of the most popular and versatile white wine grapes, Chardonnay offers a wide range of flavors and styles depending on where it is grown and how it is made. While it tends to flourish in most environments, Chardonnay from its Burgundian homeland produces some of the most remarkable and longest lived examples. California produces both oaky, buttery styles and leaner, European-inspired wines. Somm Secret—The Burgundian subregion of Chablis, while typically using older oak barrels, produces a bright style similar to the unoaked style. Anyone who doesn't like oaky Chardonnay would likely enjoy Chablis.

Carneros Wine

California

View all products

Known for elegant wines that combine power and finesse, Carneros is set in the rolling hills that straddle the southernmost parts of both Sonoma and Napa counties. The cooling winds from the abutting San Pablo Bay, combined with lots of midday California sunshine, create an ideal environment for producing wines with a perfect balance of crisp acidity and well-ripened fruit.

This cooler pocket of California lends itself to growing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Syrah. Carneros is an important source of sparkling wines made in the style of Champagne as well.
