"Unoaked"
Joel Gott produces a small amount of this wine and it tends to sell out quickly each year. The aromas deliver ripe pear, clove spice and hints of citrus in the background. The wine has a clean bright entry with flavors of ripe melon, citrus and mineral tones. With its rich creaminess in the mid palette, balanced by a lingering bright citrus fruit finish, this wine is very refreshing. The fruit comes from hillside vineyards from the north part of the valley to the south. This wine exhibits a wonderful balance of Chardonnay complexity with a few months of barrel fermentation while the malo-lactic process gives it creaminess and depth, combined with the stainless steel ferment keeping the fruit bright, clean and lively.
This is a California Wine.
