Country: US / Durell Vineyard Origin
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Three Sticks / Sonoma Valley
Aged for a year in stainless-steel barrels, this wine is a combination of two vineyard blocks. The area planted to Old Wente 5 clone contributes zesty acidity and crisp apple; the V9 vineyard block is known for minerality. Acidity is balanced and the bouquet quite floral, with the palate devoted to brioche and golden honey.
