We
have been making Chardonnay from the Edna Valley for twenty years
and have found the only way to produce complex, multi-faceted wines
that have the texture and finish to stay compelling from first glass
to last is to go through the arduous process of fermenting in
expensive French oak barrels. We debuted the West Slope label with
the 2001 vintage, to stellar reviews (#26 in Wine Spectators top 100
Wines of 2003) and are finishing with 2004, an even better vintage.
Yeast notes from “sur lies” aging along with citrus and melon emerge
in the aroma. Full bodied with very light oak shadings; the flavors
are big in distinctive Edna Valley earthiness. Tangerine, lemon and
minerals linger on the finish.
Integration, harmony and completeness of elements are this wines
strengths.
