Vineyard Character: Hudson Vineyard is located in a cool section of Carneros, in a small valley that offers some shelter from the wind. Our 4-acre block of the vineyard features well-drained Haire loam soils and is planted to two clones, Dijon 95 and the Hudson-Wente selection (which as the name implies, was isolated by Lee Hudson himself). The unique location of Hudson Vineyard allows the grapes longer hangtime to develop flavor and intensity, without sacrificing acidity and balance.<BR><BR>Tasting Notes: A true reflection of the stellar 2007 growing season, we think this is the best Hudson Vineyard – Carneros Chardonnay we have ever produced. Beautiful acidity lends a balancing freshness and lithe minerality to vibrant, juicy fruit elements of citrus peal, grapefruit, peaches and lightly poached pears. Fully integrated oak contributes a textural foundation and hints of clove that support this complex, multi-layered wine.<BR><BR>Winemaking: 100% Chardonnay fruit; Whole cluster pressed; Multi-yeast fermentations (wild & cultured); Sur lie aged with weekly stirring; 100% malo-lactic fermentation in barrel; 40% new Burgundian French oak barrels; Bottled without filtration<BR></P>
