Organic/Bio Joanna Wells and Sean Castorani make "mountain wine" - wine only from California vineyards at 1,000 feet elevation and above. Here they're working on Wildcat Mountain in Carneros where fog and wind from the bay nearby keep things crisp and fresh.
Vinous describes it well in the 93 point write up: "This is a Chardonnay that perfectly juxtaposes textural softness with a deep phenolic tension that runs through its bones. Cool-toned and saline, crystal-clear notes of white flowers, oyster shell and iodine make this distinctive white feel almost Chablis-like." Don't let the "Chablis" reference fool you, though - there's plenty of ripe California fruit and a whiff of tangy butter here for richness and complexity.
For You If: You're in the mood to drink California Chardonnay that's both crisp and rich, serious and delicious.
Not For You If: You're looking for golden fruit or lots of vanilla and toast - this is fresher and just lightly spiced by barrel.
